Qatar Airways (QA) has signed a comprehensive codeshare agreement with Air Malta.
The partnership reinforces QA’s long-term commitment to Maltese passengers and to boosting tourism to the Mediterranean country, said the airline. Sales will start from today with the first codeshare flights to operate on March 9.
The codeshare agreement increases Maltas connectivity with the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia, by enabling Air Maltas passengers to travel on QA flights to Doha and onwards to more than 170 destinations.
QA passengers will also benefit from greater access to Malta and to Air Maltas extensive Mediterranean network. Codeshare destinations include Cagliari, Palermo and Catania.
QA Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said: “This agreement will provide significant benefits to both airlines and thousands of passengers, expanding both of our networks and setting the foundation to further enhance cooperation in other fields in the future.”
Air Malta CEO Captain Cliff Chetcuti said: “This agreement is yet another milestone for Air Malta in its growth strategy and widening of its code sharing network. It was a natural step for us after Qatar Airways launched direct scheduled services to our Islands and the successful cooperation on pilot training.”
QA began flying to Malta on June 4, 2019 with daily flights in the summer and a four-times weekly service during winter.
Air Malta is the national carrier of Malta, serving over 40 destinations from its hub at Malta International Airport (MLA).
