Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta offers visitors a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. From Valletta—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—and the historic “Three Cities,” to coastal landscapes, traditional villages, and a vibrant culinary scene, the Maltese archipelago offers a wealth of easily accessible experiences.
With its rich heritage, more than 300 days of sunshine a year, and a diverse calendar of cultural events, Malta is an attractive destination for travelers seeking a balance between sightseeing, relaxation, and authentic Mediterranean experiences.
Regarding this new route, David Curmi, president of KM Malta Airlines, said:
“The addition of Bordeaux to our network for summer 2027 marks a further step in strengthening KM Malta Airlines’ connections with France. This new route will offer greater choice and convenience to passengers travelling in both directions, making it easier for our customers to discover Bordeaux and its region, and for French visitors to explore Malta, its rich history, culture and Mediterranean character. We look forward to welcoming our passengers on board and continuing to expand our network, in line with our commitment to connecting Malta with Europe’s must-visit destinations.”
Simon Dreschel, Chairman of the Executive Board at Bordeaux Airport, commented:
“The arrival of KM Malta Airlines in Bordeaux is a positive sign for our aim to diversify the range of services available from Bordeaux.
We are delighted to welcome this new player amongst our partner airlines. Malta is of real interest to Bordeaux’s business sectors, so it is important to have a direct link, particularly with a dynamic airline boasting a modern fleet.
This new route will therefore enhance business and cultural tourism opportunities from Bordeaux.”
It is now possible to book flights via the KM Malta Airlines website and mobile app, as well as through travel agents and other authorised sales channels.
