As from 15 December, Italian airliner Fly Hermes will inaugurate flights linking Malta, Comiso Airport in Sicily and Turin.

The flights will be carried out by a Boeing 737 with 168 seats six times a week.

On the one hand, the Italian owners of the airline aim at providing customers in the Soutyh-East corner of Sicily with a choice of two venues, Turin and Malta.

At the same time, they will be offering Maltese customers with yet another possibility of reaching Milan and Turin who are preferred venues for football-loving Maltese.

Earlier, Ryanair had announced it was about to discontinue the popular flights to Turin from Malta, substituting them with flights to Eindhoven. But without an announcement being made, these flights from Malta to Turin have continued and it is still possible to book them on the airline's website.
