easyJet To Strengthen Presence In Malta

UK’s pocket-friendly carrier, easyJet, has made two Malta-linked announcements. The first is the confirmation of a new route between Malta and Liverpool, which will go live on December 10, 2024. easyJet will operate two weekly flights on the Liverpool-Malta route, on Tuesdays and Sundays all year round.

Once live, it’ll be the fourth service in 12 months for easyJet from Liverpool. The carrier has already introduced flights to Enfida in Tunisia, Hurghada in Egypt and Corfu, a Greek island. Presently, the airline has a seven-aircraft base at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. That helps the carrier offer up to 340 weekly flights to 27 destinations.

The Liverpool-Malta route will also become the fifth new service for easyJet from Malta in the last 12 months. Previously, it had introduced flights from Malta to Bristol, Amsterdam, Basel and Nice. From Malta, the carrier will now operate 10 services across Europe.

The second development that helps strengthen easyJet’s presence in Malta is the acquisition of the SR Technics maintenance facility. The transaction will allow the airline to undertake heavy maintenance on its growing fleet, which is north of 340. The facility features a six-bay aircraft maintenance area that has served the easyJet fleet for several years.
