Air Malta heads to Venice

Air Malta will start flying to Venice, one of the world’s most romantic cities.

This summer the airline will fly to Venice’s Marco Polo Airport (VCE) three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 2nd June.

“Our decision to start operations from/to Venice Marco Polo Airport with a 3 weekly frequency, clearly demonstrates our continued commitment towards the Maltese and Italian markets. We are very confident that we will attain our projections of carrying 13,000 passengers on the route and this augurs well for the future growth of the Venice route,” Edwin Caruana, Air Malta’s Country Manager for Italy said.

Simon Kamsky, Director Marketing Southern Europe of the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA) added: "The new Air Malta route between Malta and Venice Marco Polo is excellent news and augurs well for the continued growth in tourism from Veneto as well as the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.

“This route will continue to assist with Malta’s tourism growth, which since 2009 is the 2nd most important market for tourism to Malta with over 230.000 Italians visiting Malta in 2013. Together, we will have the opportunity to attract group business, both leisure and MICE as well as increase weekend break, diving and English Language visitors.
