Belgium’s largest airline, Brussels Airlines, was saluted by a water arch upon making its first landing at the Malta International Airport this afternoon.
Passengers on board were later greeted by a group of dancers clad in traditional Maltese costumes who handed out flowers as a welcoming gesture.
Based in Brussels Airport, the airline has chosen Malta as part of its summer expansion across European destinations and will be flying directly to and from Malta International Airport twice a week, on Fridays and Sundays.
“Whilst keeping in mind the amount of expats living and working in Brussels, who wish to hop back home for the weekend, the flights also provide further accessibility for visitors to our island.”
With flights to some 60 European destinations, as well as long-haul flights to 19 African destinations, New York and Washington DC in the US, Brussels Airlines offers an excellent network to connecting destinations.
“Brussels Airlines has recently expanded its network to around ten new destinations, proving that we’re not solely aimed at business travelers, but also for holidaymakers. In fact, we’re really excited about flying to Malta and we look forward to a busy summer”, said Sciot, Brussels Airlines Vice President for Media Relations.
