KM Malta Airlines & Turkish Airlines sign codeshare agreement

KM Malta Airlines and Turkish Airlines have signed a code-sharing agreement to operate joint flights, effective as of June 15 2024.

The codeshare agreement will provide passengers of both flag carrier airlines more flexible travel options on direct flights between Istanbul and Malta. Within the scope of the cooperation, KM Malta Airlines will place their marketing flight numbers on Turkish Airlines flights between Istanbul – Malta and vice versa.

“We are very pleased to count Turkish Airlines among our codeshare partners. Istanbul is a major hub connected with Malta twice every day, offering our Maltese customers a large choice of destinations,” said KM Malta Airlines executive chairman David G. Curmi. “It also allows our international customers enhanced connectivity through Malta International Airport, linking both our networks. It also shows that KM Malta Airlines is recognized by large carriers as a partner of choice.”

“We are pleased that the codeshare agreement with KM Malta Airlines will re-foster cooperation between the two countries and provide seamless journeys for passengers flying from Malta and Türkiye,” added Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Ekşi. “Not only does this partnership enable Maltese travellers to benefit from the wide network of Turkish Airlines on a global scale, but also promotes more visitors from Malta to visit our unique country, Türkiye. Likewise, Malta, the fascinating island nation of the
Mediterranean, will attract more visitors. We look forwards to a successful, long-standing collaboration together.”

The codeshare flights will be available for purchase through the airlines’ sales channels such as turkishairlines.com and kmmaltairlines.com websites.
