Air Malta has confirmed it will be increasing its schedule between Malta and Djerba with an additional weekly frequency every Tuesday with effect from September 16th.

The Maltese airline will therefore be operating three weekly flights to/from the Tunisian city every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Commenting on this announcement Joe Galea, deputy chief commercial officer of Air Malta said: “This decision was taken following the increase in demand registered since we re-started air services to Tunisia last month.

“The service has become very popular and passenger figures are growing steadily.”

Galea added: “The increase in frequency to Djerba is an another important step in our efforts to continue assisting and facilitating travel between both countries following the increased passenger demand from this airport due to the situation in Libya.”
