Malta Airport Now With Direct Flights To Stuttgart & Helsinki

Malta International Airport has expanded its summer route network with the introduction of direct flights to Stuttgart and Helsinki.

Stuttgart is a completely new destination for the airport, while the route to Helsinki marks the return of a connection that had been absent for six years. Now operated by Norwegian, the Helsinki service further strengthens Malta’s links with the Scandinavian market.

These new routes follow a busy May, during which the airport welcomed 927,709 passengers, representing an 8.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024.

A seat load factor of 84.9% was recorded, showing strong and consistent demand for travel to and from Malta.

The United Kingdom remained Malta International Airport’s top market for the second consecutive month, accounting for 22.4% of total traffic.

Italy, Germany, Poland and France followed closely behind. Notably, Poland was the fastest-growing market, registering a 35.8% increase in passenger numbers year on year.

This rise was largely fuelled by more frequent flights on the Warsaw route and the introduction of a new airline operating to and from Poland.

These developments highlight Malta’s growing appeal as a travel destination and the airport’s continued efforts to enhance its connectivity with key European cities.
