New airliners in Malta

This year Malta International Airport have been introducing 6 new airliners to operate Malta every summer season till October 2013 what airline companies have been flying to Malta? Let's find out. 

First up is Turkish Airlines they have been operating Malta before in the 90's & early 2000's I don't think it was seasonal in that time. This is not my first photo of Turkish Airlines I took a photo of A321 in London Gatwick, UK 6 months ago TC-JRY. This aircraft TC-JKN Boeing 737-700 taxi runway 31 returning to Istanbul, Turkey. Turkish Airlines do send out other aircraft types if it's Airbua A319, A320, Boeing 737-700 & 800.


Next up is Monarch. Monarch did fly to Malta before I think her first flight was in the 1960's... Anyway what route Monarch flies from? It only fly from East Midlands, United Kingdom it's summer seasonal 2 times a week on Tuseday early evening and two very early morning before 3am. I written Monarch a letter if they can operate my nearest location from Gatwick in the future, they said wait and see. Monarch always sent out Airbus A321 this aircraft G-ZBAF it was new to Royal Jordanian in 2001 ex JY-AYG.


Next is Lithuanian's airline Small Planet Airlines. Small Planet Airline is a charter company that operates European destinations like Ryanair. With Small Planet Airlines in Malta they operate every summer from London Gatwick, United Kingdom it comes to Malta once a week every Saturday.Polish registration SP-HAD brought to Small Planet Airlines in January 2013 ex Air Astana P4-SAS it was new to Hellas Jet in 2003 ex SX-BVX.

Next is Hungarian's airliner Wizz Air they operate from Budapest twice a week. It's Wizz Airs first year of flight operation to Malta, in the past Malev due to bankruptcy Malev suspended all it's European and worldwide routes. Other than Wizz Air, Air Malta also operate Budapest. My first Wizz Air photo was HA-LPV back in Catania, Italy 3 months ago. This photo HA-LPK is me second photo.  



Next is Air Baltic from Lithuania. It's Air Baltic's first route to Malta started in May this year. It operate once a week from Riga, Lithuania once a week. Air Baltic first arrived in Malta in January 2010 C-FZGL Canadian registration for a visit. Two main fleets come to Malta is Boeing 737-300 & 500 they will be out of service by 2017 they will be replaced by Bombardier CS300. Air Baltic YL-BBN Boeing 737-500 new to United Airlines ex N944UA in 1992.


And finally we have Transavia France it first flew to Malta last month. At the monument it operate twice a week on Monday morning and Thursday evening from Paris Orly, France. F-GZHG Boeing 737-800 was new to Dutch's Transavia in 2002 ex PH-HZV.
