Air Malta Holidays, the new inbound package holiday arm of the Airline was launched today. The portal, www.airmaltaholidays.com started offering a one-stop-shop combining Air Malta flights, the best hotels in Malta and airport transfers at great prices.

“As the ‘Airline of The Maltese Islands’ we are determined to facilitate inbound travel. Every year we fly over two million customers, the majority being tourist visitors. It was a natural step for us to start offering package holidays”, commented Air Malta’s Chairman Dr Charles Mangion, during a press conference to launch this initiative.

“Over the last few years, technological innovation has created opportunities for us to offer package holidays. Customer experience is enhanced, allowing our passengers to ‘build’ their own travel package,” added Clifford Chetcuti, Air Malta’s Chief Executive.

Paul Sies, Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer, explained that the site will offer packages at great value for money, cheaper than buying flights and accommodation separately. “This is our first step at entering the package holiday market after an absence of several years. The site is currently offering flights on all Air Malta routes from the UK, Italy, Germany and France. More markets will be added soon,” added Mr Sies.

“We will also be launching the Air Malta Events and Air Malta Conferences portals. These new online systems will be targeting event and conference organisers in Malta that wish to attract foreign tourists to their events and conferences. This will continue facilitating travel to the Maltese Islands at value for money”, said Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer.
