The airline intends to fly to Malta between March and October.

Snowflake includes the important and sound components of SAS in the form of

safety and high level of customer care.

Backed by a fleet of 124 aircraft, the Malta service will be mainly operated

by the MD 81s and Boeing 737s. providing a weekly seat capacity of over 750.

SAS and Snowflake will be operating five flights a week, two as SAS and three as

Snowflake.

The Wednesday flight is from/to Stockholm, whilst on Saturday

the airline will be operating four flights combining Stockholm, Oslo, Malmo,

Gothenburg and Copenhagen.

This should widen the channels for tourism to Malta from the Scandinavian

countries and would increase the direct flights for Maltese travellers.

SMS Tourism, SMS Cargo and SMS Aviation have been appointed by SAS/Snowflake

to handle flight bookings, aircargo and airport supervision.

SAS director Karina Holst, who was on the flight yesterday, was welcomed to Malta by Tourism Minister Francis Zammit Dimech.

The airline’s web page states it makes booking flights extremely easy: they can be booked directly on the webpage or alternatively on the phone.

A flight to Malta costs 595 Swedish Kronor, around Lm24.
