Ryanair is launching summer flights Belfast-Malta
Ryanair (France) has announced its latest innovation in the Mediterranean with the introduction of a new route from Belfast to Malta. The move is part of a significant USD 700 million investment in the island.
In addition to the Belfast-Malta route, the Irish low-cost carrier (LCC) has expanded its 2024 summer schedule for Malta to include routes from Norwich, whose airport is the 28th smallest in the UK, and Rome, Airways writes.
Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary expressed his enthusiasm for the new routes, emphasizing the airline's commitment to offering affordable travel options.
This latest development is in line with the airline's ongoing investment in Malta, which has seen traffic volumes grow by 22%.
It should be noted that the announcement of the Belfast-Malta route follows LCC's recent plans to introduce three new winter routes to Lanzarote (Spain), Porto (Portugal), and Turin (Italy) in addition to its existing 16 routes across Europe.
As TravelWise wrote, this year Ryanairwill launch 15 new destinations from Lithuania.
