KM Malta Airlines, the national airline of the Maltese Islands, is proud to announce that it has been ranked No. 1 in London Heathrow Airport’s Fly Quieter and Greener league table for Q2 2025.
This ranking reflects the airline’s strong environmental performance, quieter aircraft operations, and commitment to reducing its carbon footprint at one of the world’s busiest airports.
London Heathrow’s Fly Quieter and Greener programme assesses the 50 busiest airlines at the airport each quarter using nine key metrics, including noise and NOx emissions, the use of continuous descent approaches (CDA), track-keeping on designated flight paths, and operational punctuality. KM Malta Airlines achieved the highest overall score among all carriers in Q2/2025.
This recognition follows another milestone for KM Malta Airlines earlier this year, when it was named operator of Europe’s youngest aircraft fleet by ch-aviation. The airline operates a modern fleet of Airbus A320neo aircraft, which are significantly quieter and more fuel-efficient than previous-generation models and have been instrumental in securing the top spot at London Heathrow.
The Fly Quieter and Greener programme is part of Heathrow’s long-term Noise Action Plan, which encourages airlines to improve their environmental performance by highlighting best practices in noise and emissions management.
KM Malta Airlines’ leading performance demonstrates the success of its environmental strategy and supports its ambition to be among Europe’s most sustainable carriers.
