Malaga will have a direct flight to Malta this summer

This summer, Málaga will reintroduce the direct flight to Malta. KM Malta Airlines has announced that it will operate this route starting from the upcoming 27th of May. The company mentions that "this new service is part of KM Malta Airlines' flight program for the summer of 2026, which includes an expanded range of routes and frequencies to key destinations in Europe and the Mediterranean."

The airline details that it will fly twice a week to connect the capital of the Costa del Sol with this central Mediterranean island country located between Sicily and the North African coast. Specifically, flights will depart from the Costa del Sol on Wednesdays at two in the afternoon, and Sundays at 8:05 AM, arriving three hours later at Malta International Airport.

"The addition of Málaga improves the accessibility of Malta from the Spanish market and creates new opportunities for inbound tourism from southern Spain," the airline specifies. They remind us that this destination "offers Spanish travelers a unique Mediterranean getaway, combining year-round sunshine, crystal-clear waters, rich history, and a vibrant cultural scene." They also recommend discovering the city of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, exploring the historic streets of Mdina, enjoying coastal experiences in Gozo and Comino, or relaxing in popular seaside destinations like St Julian's, Sliema, and Mellieħa. "With its combination of heritage, cuisine, outdoor activities, and ease of traveling between islands, Malta is an ideal destination for both short breaks and longer summer vacations," they caution.
