Budget airline Ryanair has launched a new flight route to the Mediterranean island of Malta from Bournemouth Airport.
The twice-weekly flights with the carrier follow the start of a new service from Bournemouth to Zadar, on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, two weeks ago. It means Ryanair now has 17 routes from the Dorset transport hub, with more than half operating year-round.
Steve Gill, managing director of Bournemouth Airport, said: “Malta is a very popular destination and we’re delighted to see its return from Bournemouth with Ryanair. We’re committed to increasing connectivity and it means our passengers have even more travel options this summer.”
