KM Malta will start flying to Tel Aviv this summer 

KM Malta Airlines will start flying to Tel Aviv twice a week this summer.

Flights to the Israeli city will commence on 27th May and will operate on Wednesdays and Sundays. 

Tel Aviv was one of the non-European cities whose residents were most likely to search for flights to Malta last year, just behind New York, São Paulo and Istanbul. 

Ryanair used to operate between Malta and Tel Aviv, but this route will now be taken up by KM Malta Airlines as part of its largest summer schedule to date. 

Besides the new Tel Aviv route, it will renew flights to Catania, add an additional Tuesday morning flight to Brussels and an additional Thursday afternoon service to London Gatwick, resulting in 23 weekly London flights.

Aircraft utilisation across the fleet of eight planes will average 12 hours per day during the peak summer months.  

“Our Summer 2026 schedule represents a significant step forward in strengthening Malta’s air connectivity,” KM Malta Airlines executive chairman David Curmi said. 

“With nearly 8,000 flights, 1.34 million seats, and 19 routes, we are not only expanding capacity but also strategically investing in markets that are most important to Malta’s tourism, business, and diaspora communities.

“By combining direct point-to-point services with access to the major passenger hubs across Europe, we provide an important number of connecting seats.”
