This new route will bring us to 62 routes to Malta and 15 routes to Jordan (including 4 winter routes to Aqaba).

We are delighted to further strengthen our cooperation with the Malta Tourism Authority. This new route from Amman further promotes Maltese tourism and now introduces guests from 21 different countries to one of the most attractive sun destinations in the world.

To celebrate we are releasing seats for sale on these routes from just €14.99, for travel in January 2019, which are available for booking until 5 pm Wednesday (7 Nov). Since these amazing low fares will be snapped up quickly, customers should log onto http://www.ryanair.com and avoid missing out.”

Minister for Tourism Hon. Konrad Mizzi said:

“Ryanair’s new announcement demonstrates its commitment towards the Maltese islands, shortly after it invested $100m to base its sixth aircraft in Malta. This new route from Amman to Malta is estimated to bring around 11,200 inbound visitors to our islands during the summer months.

Connecting Malta to new routes in the Middle East supports the development of Malta into a business and leisure hub in line with the Government’s vision.”
