easyJet, today celebrated carrying its two millionth passenger from Malta. In celebration of this milestone easyJet rewarded the lucky traveller with a pair of flights.

Ali Gayward, UK commercial manager for easyJet who rewarded the lucky traveller, commented, “we have come a long way since the launch of our first flight to Malta back in April 2008. In our first twelve months at Malta Airport we carried over 200,000 passengers – we now carry 320,000 passengers a year on London Gatwick, Manchester, Newcastle, Belfast, Rome Fiumicino, Milan Malpensa and Naples.”

“I am really excited to be here today to reward our two millionth passenger, Sandra Johnstone, with a pair of flights to any destination on easyJet’s network. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate.”

Minister for Tourism Dr. Edward Zammit Lewis said, “it is a pleasure to commemorate the milestone of two million passengers carried by Easyjet to Malta. This is a remarkable achievement considering that Easyjet operations to Malta started only back in 2008 and have been expanding in an organic manner both in terms of the number of services and the territories served. Malta has embarked on a strategy of increasing airline routes, results have been impressive, as tourism volume, overnights and expenditure grew consistently year by year.

“I augur the continuation of a successful and sustained relationship between Easyjet and Malta and look forward towards the celebration of further milestones in our journey together”

In July easyJet will also celebrate carrying one million passengers on the London Gatwick to Malta route.
