Malta's Universal Airlines launches New Flights

Malta's Universal Airlines launches New Flights -

Exciting news from Universal Air! They're spreading their wings from their home base in Malta to even more destinations, on top of their already buzzing routes from Pecs, Hungary.

So, where can you jet off to now? Well, get ready to tick off some dreamy spots from your travel bucket list:

Athens (get ready for a weekly dose from May 6, ramping up to twice a week from May 27)
Kerkyra (that's Corfu, for those in the know, with thrice-weekly flights starting June 1)
Ibiza (twice-weekly parties in paradise, launching May 31)
Palermo International (thrice-weekly jaunts starting May 1)
Munich (twice weekly)
Pecs, Hungary (twice weekly)

More destinations are to be added later this year. The starting price for a one-way ticket to Ibiza will be around €80. And guess what? You'll be soaring through the skies in style aboard their comfy DHC-8-Q400s.

Malta's Universal Airlines launches New Flights

Malta based CEO Simon Cook spilled the beans to the Times of Malta, sharing that despite the fierce competition, Universal Air is feeling pretty confident about their game plan. They're all about that sweet spot - not quite budget, but definitely not breaking the bank like the big legacy airlines. Simon mentioned their nifty Dash 8s, which not only keep costs down but can handle those less-traveled routes like a breeze.

Now, here's a fun fact: Universal Air isn't just about scheduled flights anymore. Nope, they're diving into the world of charters too. Starting March 26, they'll be whisking folks away from Pecs to both Malta and Munich twice a week. And get this, they're the only ones doing scheduled flights from that part of Hungary!

Speaking of planes, they've got their hands on a shiny new DHC-8-Q400, with two more on the horizon. These beauties are taking over from their older fleet, giving them that fresh new plane smell and a boost in efficiency. Simon mentioned that while their charter business was cruising along nicely, it was time for an upgrade. So, they took the leap to keep things fresh and exciting for their passengers.

And fear not, charter fans! Universal Air isn't leaving you high and dry. They're still keeping those flights coming alongside their new scheduled services.
