KM Malta Airlines and ITA Airways have announced an extensive codeshare agreement, creating a seamless travel experience for passengers connecting between their networks. This collaboration allows travelers to book a single ticket covering multiple flights across both airlines, simplifying the booking process and offering greater convenience.
Passengers will benefit from a streamlined travel experience, including a unified check-in at their departure airport and convenient baggage transfer to their final destination. This eliminates the hassle of separate check-ins and baggage handling, allowing for a smooth and efficient travel journey.
As part of the partnership, ITA Airways will designate its ‘AZ’ code to all KM Malta Airlines flights operating between Italy and Malta. Conversely, KM Malta Airlines will codeshare on ITA Airways flights connecting Malta with Rome and Milan, extending to other Italian domestic routes beyond Rome Fiumicino Airport and Milan Linate, along with selected international connections.
David Curmi, Executive Chairman at KM Malta Airlines, expressed his enthusiasm for the agreement, stating, “This codeshare agreement significantly broadens our reach to various airports in Italy and beyond. Italy holds an important position in the strategy of KM Malta Airlines, and this collaboration is poised to enhance our presence in the Italian market. We look forward to further collaboration with ITA Airways to deliver more advantages to our customers in partnership with ITA Airways expanding international network.”
Andrea Benassi, General Manager ITA Airways, shared his excitement, saying: “We are pleased to sign this codeshare agreement with KM Malta Airlines. This partnership is a significant step in ITA Airways’ growth strategy, enhancing connectivity for our passengers. It creates a privileged and convenient travel route between Italy and Malta, further strengthening the economic and commercial ties between our two countries.”
KM Malta Airlines’ Summer 2024 schedule extends until October 26th, offering flights to 17 airports across 15 major European cities. These destinations include Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Catania, Dusseldorf, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Lyon, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Paris Orly, Prague, Rome, Vienna, and Zurich.
