Air Malta covers a route network of 46 destinations in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, with popular destinations including Rome, Tunis and Hamburg, offering customers over 200 flights a week.

Great value flights are available from a range of UK airports, including East Midlands Airport, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, Nottingham, Southampton and several London Airports, direct to Air Malta's base at Malta International Airport in Luqa. It also flies to Malta from Dublin.

In summer 2007, Air Malta will be operating three new destinations – Liverpool, Venice and Benghazi - and increasing services to Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Birmingham, Stansted and Rome.

The airline will also be the first to operate a service between Italy and Morocco.

A range of ticketing agreements and partnerships with other airlines means that Air Malta can offer passengers an even greater selection of exciting destinations and convenient flight connections to choose from.

With a range of air fares to suit every budget, there are often some great discounted and cheap flights to be had. Book your flight with Major Travel for the best choice of cheap airfares around.

The airline also managed to lose fewer bags than any other major European airline during 2006, underlining its reliability. According to figures released by the Association of European Airlines, the carrier posted a rate of 4.4 missing bags per 1,000 passengers - comfortably beating Turkish Airlines in second place.

For those who don't mind paying a little more for their airfare for some extra luxury, the Air Malta club class service offers more than just extra seat space and extra-luxurious food.

Even before the flight, club class passengers can benefit from priority service, with a baggage allowance of 30kg and dedicated check-in counters at Malta International Airport. When flying from London Heathrow, club class passengers can also make use of the airport's Fast Track service, speeding up the transit through security checks.

At Malta International Airport, club class passengers can also enjoy use of the La Valette lounge, allowing passengers time to relax in comfortable surroundings before boarding their flight.

Air Malta runs a customer loyalty scheme called Flypass, which provides passengers with the opportunity to earn reward points on their flights with the airline.

The scheme has three tier levels – Temporary, Permanent and Diamond, depending on the number of airmiles passengers have accrued with the airline. Regardless of tier, however, the scheme offers some great opportunities to save money on future flights, making your airfare go even further.

A special club is also offered for young travellers, regardless of which class of ticket they are flying with.

The Young Aviator Club features cheery alien mascot Captain KozMo and is open for all children aged between four and 12 to join. Applications for the club can be filled in on board or in advance, giving Young Aviators their own membership card and the chance to earn their prestigious Young Aviator wings.

Air Malta operates its flights using a modern fleet of 15 aircraft, one more since last summer, including eight Airbus A320s, five Airbus A319s and two Boeing 737-300. It has finalised its re-fleeting project and now boasts one of the youngest sets of aircraft in the world.

The average age of Air Malta planes is 2.7 years, meaning that passengers benefit from better comfort and an improved service.

For the third consecutive year, Air Malta is the official airline for the 2007 Powerboat P1 Maltese Grand Prix of the Sea and will carry teams, organising bodies, international media and spectators from Europe to Malta for the first Grand Prix in the P1 World Championship.
