Malta is to regain an air link to Dubai from May, when FlyDubai will begin operating four flights a week between the two.
The Dubai-based airline said on Monday that it will start flying to Malta International Airport from May 12, with two of the weekly flights linking Malta International Airport to Dubai International Airport directly and two others including a stop at Catania International Airport.
It is the first time that the airline has operated flights to Malta.
Malta currently has no flights to Dubai following Emirates’ decision to pull the plug on the destination as part of a series of COVID-19 related cutback measures.
Fly Dubai will operate four weekly flights to Malta via Catania from 12 May, becoming the first airline to link the island to the Persian Gulf since the pandemic
