Ryanair has announced a new flight partnership with Air Malta.

The deal will allow Ryanair customers to book Air Malta flights on the low-cost carrier’s website.

From today, customers can browse and book Air Malta flights on 21 new routes from Malta to eight different countries across Africa, Asia and Europe, including Russia and Tunisia.

In Malta, Ryanair chief commercial officer, David O’Brien, said: “We are pleased to announce this exciting partnership with Air Malta.”

This project was made possible through the extensive cooperation of both airline’s technology teams that worked together to achieve seamless integration between the two airline systems.

Air Malta chairman, Charles Mangion, said: “This is a landmark agreement were both airlines are cooperating together for the benefit of their mutual customers.

“Over the last year Air Malta has made significant improvements not only to expand its network of destinations with more frequencies and destinations but also changing its product in terms of fare structure and onboard service.

“This agreement will also help Air Malta increase its visibility in overseas markets and tap into new revenue streams.

“We look forward to further cooperation between the two airlines for the benefit of our clients.”
