New Low-Cost Airline to Launch Affordable Flights to Malta
Summary
Norwegian Air Shuttle, a prominent low-fare airline in Europe, is set to begin offering flights between Oslo and Malta starting April 2008.Article
Norwegian Air Shuttle, a leading low-cost airline in Europe, has announced a new route between Oslo and Malta. Following successful negotiations with Malta International Airport (MIA) and the Malta Tourism Authority (MTA), the airline will provide affordable flights to the Mediterranean island.
The service will include two weekly flights, scheduled for Tuesdays and Saturdays, potentially boosting tourism from Norway to Malta. This initiative follows the success of similar routes, like those run by Ryanair, which have been operating direct flights to Malta with great success for over a year.
The introduction of another budget airline is anticipated to increase the number of tourists visiting Malta, while also enticing more Scandinavian tourists to explore the Maltese islands. Tourism is a crucial sector for Malta's economy, and the availability of low-cost flights is seen positively by authorities who were once protective of the national carrier, Air Malta.
Norwegian Air Shuttle began operations in September 2002 with four domestic routes and six Boeing 737-300 aircraft. It has since expanded significantly, boasting 31 aircraft and an order for 53 new Boeing 737-800s expected early next year. The airline currently offers a network of 128 routes to 76 destinations across Norway, Sweden, and Poland.
"We are thrilled to include Malta in our extensive European network," stated Daniel Skjeldam, Chief Commercial Officer of Norwegian Air Shuttle. "Malta has long been a favored destination for Scandinavians. We've seen a high demand, based on numerous inquiries from our customers. We are confident that with competitive prices and direct flights, this route will be a success."
Mr. Skjeldam also highlighted the airline's collaboration with MTA and MIA to promote the new service in Norway. He expressed gratitude for the support from both organizations in making affordable flights to Malta a reality.
