KM Malta Airlines on Wednesday celebrated the successful launch of its new direct
service between Malta and Málaga, with the inaugural flight operating on Wednesday
27th May 2026.
The occasion was marked by a special welcome event organised by Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport to commemorate the arrival and departure of the airline’s first scheduled service connecting the two Mediterranean destinations.
Malta International Airport also welcomed passengers arriving on the inaugural
Málaga–Malta service, marking another important milestone in strengthening connectivity between Malta and southern Spain.
The new route operates twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Sundays, offering
customers convenient direct connections between Malta International Airport (MLA)
and Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport (AGP).
Located on Spain’s renowned Costa del Sol, Málaga is one of southern Spain’s most
vibrant and culturally rich destinations. The city combines Mediterranean beaches
with Andalusian heritage, offering visitors a blend of history, gastronomy, art, and
leisure.
Travellers can explore Málaga’s historic centre, visit the world-famous Picasso
Museum, discover landmarks such as the Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle, or enjoy
the city’s lively culinary scene featuring tapas, seafood, and regional wines. Málaga
also serves as an ideal gateway to other popular destinations across Andalusia,
including Marbella, Nerja, Ronda, and the picturesque, whitewashed villages inland.
The introduction of Málaga further strengthens KM Malta Airlines’ Summer 2026
network, providing customers with greater travel choice across key European and
Mediterranean destinations while continuing to support tourism between Malta and
Spain.
