Since then Ryanair has delivered on its commitment to growth, generating a 12% increase in passengers flying to / from Malta this summer.

With the addition of today’s route, Ryanair will deliver 300,000 passengers to / from Malta over the next 12 months, generating a visitor spend of €63m and supporting 300 local jobs.

Welcoming today’s new route, Ryanair’s Deputy CEO, Michael Cawley said:

"Ryanair low fares have generated unprecedented growth for Malta and demonstrated that while others talk, we deliver. However, this growth is just touching the surface of what could be achieved by opening many more low fare routes. We hope the Maltese Government will now take the initiative and unlock the island’s true tourism potential by supporting the rapid development of low fare routes for the benefit of the island, people and economy of Malta".
