Flights to Malta, will begin June 7, 2026 and run three times per week, between JFK and Malta International Airport (MLA).

”Delta’s timely announcement is a gamechanger for Malta Tourism promotion in North America,” said MTA CEO Carlo Micallef. “When restarting
the Malta Tourism Authority presence here 11 years ago, with Michelle Buttigieg as the MTA Representative North America, Malta was
known as the ‘Hidden Gem of the Mediterranean’. Now, especially with this first non-stop flight, it is no longer hidden to the American
travel market. The interest and demand for Malta, especially from the high-end luxury traveler, as well as the young independent traveler,
has grown enormously. Now Delta’s direct flight, together with the opening of the MTA office in NYC, will offer Malta new opportunities to
expand our promotions in this market.”
