Malta International Airport has unveiled its flight schedule for this winter season, extending from October 2025 until March 2026.
The schedule features a robust network of routes to 86 destinations served by 23 partner airlines. The season will see the introduction of three new routes to Tirana in Albania, Palma de Mallorca in Spain, and Gothenburg in Sweden, further strengthening Malta's year-round connectivity with key markets in Europe, Malta International Airport said.
"As the airport continues to strengthen connectivity with Scandinavia, the Copenhagen route operated by SAS Scandinavian Airlines will now extend into the shoulder months, while Ryanair's Stockholm-Arlanda route will continue to operate alongside the new Gothenburg route, launching later in October. For travellers looking to embrace Scandinavia's winter magic, the region comes alive at this time of year; from Gothenburg's Christmas markets and the frozen Stockholm archipelago, to Copenhagen's cosy cafés and festive Tivoli Gardens."
Malta International Airport's winter schedule also continues to forge connections with Eastern Europe, featuring direct flights to Hungary, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Poland, and now Albania, as Wizz Air introduced a new connection between Malta and Tirana International Airport from October, it said.
"While Albania's Adriatic coastline will add variety for travellers seeking new destinations from Malta International Airport, the Polish market continues to stand out as a top five source market for Malta. In September alone, 70,529 passengers travelled to or from a Polish destination, marking a 59.4% year-on-year increase. "
Malta International Airport capped off the summer season with a total of 990,556 passenger movements in September. "The peak travel day came early in the month, when 36,979 passengers passed through the terminal on the 4th of September. Aircraft activity climbed to 6,013 and, while seat capacity increased by 9.9% year-on-year, planes remained nearly full, averaging a 90.7% seat load factor."
