Vienna Airport: Air Malta Launches Flight Service to Catania

Starting today, Friday, January 19, 2018, Air Malta operates flights destined for Catania, the historic port town in Sicily. The airline deploys an Airbus A320/A319 for the new route twice per week. Catania is the second route served by the Maltese airline from Vienna in addition to Malta.

"Alongside the existing flight connection from its home base, Air Malta now serves a new route linking Vienna and Catania. In particular, holidaymakers benefit from the convenient travel options to the largest island in the Mediterranean. Sicily is not only home to numerous historical sights, but also to Mount Etna, Europe’s biggest volcano, which has been listed as a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site since the year 2013. On balance, passengers can choose among numerous direct connections to six destinations in Italy in the current winter flight schedule, and even fourteen flights in the summer flight schedule for 2018," says Julian Jäger, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG, who is pleased with the additional flight connection.
