There is a new airline operating out of Trapani airport, Italian media said yesterday: it is the new Maltese airline Aliblue.

It has already carried out its first flight, to Naples. It will fly to Naples twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays.

Aliblue uses Medavia planes and it hopes to add a further flight to Naples on Wednesdays.

According to Giacomo di Girolamo writing on the Giornale di Sicilia, its fares are reasonable even if the airline itself is not a low cost one. The new airline is also reported to be studying the possibility of having a family ticket in which only the parents pay the full fare while children from 2 to 12 years pay just the airport taxes.

Another offer by the new airline entails a weekend in Malta.

These flights, that will continue all through winter, will be operated by Bombardier Dash 8-300 planes with 50 seats each.

As from 3 April, Aliblue Malta will also fly twice a week from Trapani to Tirana.
