Ryanair adds Rome, Paris and K

This record winter schedule will be operated mainly on Ryanair's 7 Malta-based aircraft, 3 of which are new greener B-737 Gamechangers which cut CO₂ emissions by 16% (and noise by 40%), representing a $700m investment in Malta, and supporting over 4,000 local jobs, while driving year-round tourism and growth, a major benefit for Malta's island economy.

Ryanair's record Malta traffic growth up 24% in 2024, demonstrates its commitment to Malta, where the airline has operated for the past 18 years, carrying over 27m passengers to date, investing heavily in the Island and its economy, the company said. This investment includes Ryanair's state-of-the-art 3-bay €20m maintenance facility which will create over 200 high-skilled local jobs, including engineers, mechanics, and support staff.

To celebrate the launch of Ryanair's 3 new Winter routes to Katowice, Paris & Rome, it has launched a 3-day seat sale with 50,000 fares on sale from just €19.99 available only at ryanair.com.

Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said that "as Malta's no.1 airline, Ryanair is pleased to announce 3 new Winter routes from Malta to Katowice, Paris, and Rome from Oct 2024, adding to Ryanair's Malta extensive network of 69 routes, giving Malta's citizens/visitors even more choice at the lowest fares in Europe.

As an island economy, it is vital that Ryanair continues to grow low-cost visitor access on a year-round basis to Malta. Ryanair's $750m investment (including 7 based aircraft) in Malta and its 24% traffic growth in 2024 demonstrates that Ryanair is delivering its long-term commitment to boost Malta's air traffic, its tourism, its jobs, and its economy."
