Day 5 – Our Airline Partners   On this fifth day before KM Malta Airline's inaugural flight, KM640, to Catania on 31 March, we would like to express our gratitude and thanks to our Codeshare Partners, namely Lufthansa Group (comprising Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, and Swiss), Air France, ITA Airways, Royal Durch Airlines (KLM), Air Baltic, and Qatar Airways with whom we have entered into Codeshare Agreements well before the start of our operations. Our Codeshare Partners are key cornerstones of our network strategy since they significantly broaden our reach to Europe and beyond, enabling greater connectivity for our customers to and from Malta. These partnerships will strengthen KM Malta Airlines' market position and offer passengers enhanced connectivity and a more comprehensive range of travel options. Our Codeshare Partnerships will provide our customers with seamless travel journeys, from check-in at their departure airport to baggage claim at their final destination. KM Malta Airlines' strategy is to fly to key passenger and cargo hubs in Western Europe and to attach to the bigger airlines through Codeshare Agreements and Interline Partnerships. Indirect connectivity from these airports is, therefore, critical as a gateway to the rest of the world. #kmmaltairlines #aviation #travel #aviation #airlines #europe #malta #visitmalta #lufthansa #itairways #airfrance #klm #airbaltic #qatarairways  

Swiss International Air Lines has maintained a steady 50% to 55% of seat capacity at Zurich Airport Ltd for the last decade. Add in the growth of its leisure subsidiary Edelweiss Air AG and its parent company Lufthansa, and Lufthansa Group has maintained a very healthy 65% to 70% of capacity at Europe's 19th busiest airport. AIR SERVICE ONE analysis of Cirium schedules data shows that after Swiss, Edelweiss Air, Eurowings and Lufthansa the other airlines that make up the airport's top 10 in 2024 are easyJet (up from ninth in 2023), British Airways, Chair Airlines, Emirates, Austrian Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. That's right - no sign of Ryanair or Wizz Air, neither of whom have ever served the airport. However, Vueling Airlines and Pegasus Airlines do serve Zurich. This year has seen Zurich welcome EGYPTAIR from Cairo and Air India Limited from Delhi, as well as the return of TUNISAIR from Djerba and Tunis.

Turkish Airlines has launched its longest route, connecting Istanbul to Sydney with a stopover in Kuala Lumpur. The service operates four times weekly, initially utilizing Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, and will transition to Airbus A350-900s.

The flight schedule includes a 10-hour journey from Istanbul to Kuala Lumpur, followed by a 7-hour and 50-minute segment to Sydney. The return trip features an 8-hour and 15-minute flight from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur, and an 11-hour and 20-minute leg back to Istanbul. This expansion reflects Turkish Airlines’ commitment to broadening its international network and offering diverse travel opportunities to its customers.
