Qatar Airways Resumes Flights To Malta: Enhancing International Connectivity

Qatar Airways has once again touched down on the sun-kissed shores of Malta, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing mission to connect the world. With the resumption of four non-stop weekly flights between Hamad International Airport (DOH) in Doha and Malta International Airport (MLA), the airline reaffirms its commitment to expanding its European network and enhancing global connectivity.

A Gateway to the Mediterranean

Malta, a jewel in the heart of the Mediterranean, is renowned for its vibrant capital Valletta—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and the ancient city of Mdina, which boasts over 4,000 years of history. With an enviable 300 days of sunshine each year, Malta beckons travelers to explore its stunning coastlines, rich cultural tapestry, and historical wonders.

Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, Mr. Thierry Antinori, expressed the airline’s dedication to seamless travel:

“Qatar Airways remains at the forefront of supporting global connectivity with its resumption of operations in Malta. As the only airline in the Middle East with non-stop services to and from Malta, we deliver convenient travel experiences to our passengers who seek to enjoy the vibrant nature of Malta and its landscape. We welcome global travellers to travel seamlessly and conveniently with the World’s Best Airline, through its home and hub, the award-winning Hamad International Airport.”

Malta International Airport CEO, Mr. Alan Borg, welcomed the renewed partnership:

“The return of Qatar Airways as one of our airline partners is a welcome addition to our schedule, contributing to our efforts to expand our connectivity. A testament to our industry’s resilience, we remain committed to facilitating the airline in increasing its operational growth in the region.”

Malta Tourism Authority CEO, Mr. Carlo Micallef, highlighted the tourism potential:

“We welcome the resumption of the Qatar Airways direct service between Doha and Malta. Qatar Airways’ return signifies a strong recognition of Malta’s tourism potential. The new schedule will strengthen Malta’s connectivity with a variety of attractive and lucrative tourism source markets, and the Malta Tourism Authority remains fully committed to working in partnership with the airline to maximise business opportunities for Malta whilst ensuring the route’s sustained long-term success.”
