KM Malta Airlines has today marked the launch of its new direct service between Malta and Palermo, with the inaugural flight operating on the evening of Saturday, the 30th of May.

The new Sicilian route becomes the airline’s second new destination to officially commence operations this week as part of its Summer 2026 schedule, following the successful launch of services to Malaga earlier this week.

To commemorate, Palermo Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO) organised a special ribbon-cutting ceremony upon arrival of the inaugural flight, welcoming passengers and crew to celebrate the strengthening of connectivity between Malta and Sicily.

At the same time, Malta International Airport welcomed passengers arriving on the inaugural Palermo-Malta service, marking another important milestone in enhancing regional connectivity across the Mediterranean.

The new route operates three times weekly, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.
