Air Malta now takes you straight to the heart of Milan
Air Malta will be enhancing its operation to northern Italy. As from 1st December 2010, the airline will be introducing flights to Milan Linate Airport, right in the city centre.
The airline will fly to and from Milan Linate Airport every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On week days, flight will depart Malta at 0750 hours arriving in Linate at 0955 hours. The return flight will leave Linate at 1140 hours and lands in Malta at 1340 hours.

The Sunday flight is scheduled to operate Malta-Linate at 1630 hours arriving at 1835 hours, leaving Linate at 1925 hours, landing in Malta at 2125 hours.
Milan Linate Airport is situated about 7 km east of Milan. A taxi or bus ride to the city centre takes less than 20 minutes. This airport is mainly used for domestic and European short-haul flights. It provides excellent land connection with Milan as well as other places of interest in Italy. Linate Airport is complimented with a bus service that goes straight to the Central Railway Station of Milan allowing for swifter connections to various areas within the region and the rest of the country.
To celebrate the introduction of this new route, Air Malta is offering its clients a special fare starting from Euro 79 per passenger. This airfare includes return air ticket and all applicable taxes and charges. This offer is valid for travel before 26th March 2011 and reservations and ticketing are to be effected by 30th November 2010. Certain conditions may apply.
Commenting on this new route, Brock Friesen, Air Malta’s Chief Officer Commercial said, “We believe that the move to Milan Linate Airport will stimulate more traffic to and from this popular city in the northern part of Italy. With this shift, we are providing more accessibility and convenience to our passengers due to the proximity of the airport to the city centre. We are also planning to operate a daily flight as from summer 2011.”
“With the flight schedule that Air Malta will be operating and the attractive airfares, we are giving our clients the opportunity to benefit from short breaks during the winter months,” added Mr Friesen.
For the convenience of its clients, Air Malta will maintain its operation to Milan Malpensa Airport during the Christmas period.
