Delta Air Lines to Revolutionize USA-Malta Travel with First Nonstop Flights in 25 Years
Delta Air Lines is set to revolutionize travel between the USA and Malta, with the introduction of the first regular, nonstop flights in over 25 years. The new route, expected to launch in 2026, will significantly reduce travel time for American travelers eager to explore the Mediterranean island nation.
The Malta Hotels and Restaurants Association (MHRA) has hailed this development as a 'game-changer' for Malta's tourism industry. The new flight, operated by Delta from New York's JFK airport, will connect American travelers directly to the UNESCO World Heritage city of Valletta, known for its stunning architecture and grand harbor.
Malta, a treasure trove of ancient history, offers visitors a unique blend of experiences. From the ancient megalithic temples to the medieval city of Mdina, and the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino, the island promises a vibrant cultural journey. The Malta Tourism Authority is targeting high-value American travelers with an interest in culture, history, and gastronomy, making the new direct flight an exciting opportunity for both parties.
The new nonstop flight from Delta Air Lines is expected to go on sale soon for the 2026 summer and fall seasons. This direct connection will make it easier for Americans to discover Malta's unique blend of ancient history and vibrant culture, further boosting the island's tourism industry.
