Tourists offered more flights to Malta

The popular island resort of Malta is to become more accessible for low-cost holidaymakers this summer as more flights are laid on to the country.

Both EasyJet and BMI Baby have announced that they will open new routes from regional airports to the sunny destination.

EasyJet will launch a twice-weekly direct route from Liverpool John Lennon airport to Malta in June this year.

This comes after the carrier launched a twice-weekly service from Newcastle to Malta in May last year.

From May 29th, BMI Baby will begin its new service from East Midlands' Airport to Malta throughout the summer, flying on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

National operator Air Malta will continue its services to UK airports including Gatwick, Birmingham and its three daily flights to London Heathrow, among others.

Alex Incorvaja, director of the Malta Tourism Authority in UK and Ireland, commented: "Whilst Air Malta continues to serve major airports across the UK, the new low-cost routes open up regional and smaller airports, ensuring that Malta is easily accessible and a good-value option for UK holidaymakers."
