KM Malta Airlines, the flag carrier of Malta andTurkish Airlines, the airline flying to more countries than any other airline in the world, have signed a code-sharing agreement to operate joint flights, effective as of June 15 2024.
The codeshare agreement will provide passengers of both flag carrier airlines more flexible
travel options on direct flights between Istanbul and Malta. Within the scope of the
cooperation, KM Malta Airlines will place their marketing flight numbers on Turkish Airlines
flights between Istanbul – Malta and vice versa.
On the codeshare agreement, Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi stated: “We are pleased
that the codeshare agreement with KM Malta Airlines will re-foster cooperation between
the two countries and provide seamless journeys for passengers flying from Malta and
Türkiye. Not only does this partnership enable Maltese travelers to benefit from the wide
network of Turkish Airlines on a global scale, but also promotes more visitors from Malta
to visit our unique country, Türkiye. Likewise, Malta, the fascinating island nation of the
Mediterranean, will attract more visitors. We look forwards to a successful, long-standing
collaboration together.”
KM Malta Airlines Executive Chairman David G. Curmi noted that: “We are very pleased
to count Turkish Airlines among our codeshare partners. Istanbul is a major hub connected
with Malta twice every day, offering our Maltese customers a large choice of destinations.
It also allows our international customers enhanced connectivity through Malta
International Airport, linking both our networks. It also shows that KM Malta Airlines is
recognized by large carriers as a partner of choice.”
The codeshare flights will be available for purchase through the airlines’ sales channels
such as turkishairlines.com and kmmaltairlines.com websites.
