VALETTA — KM Malta Airlines has signed a unilateral codeshare agreement with Air France.

Under the agreement, Air France will place its code on KM Malta Airlines’ 10x/weekly flights between Malta and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), 9x/weekly flights between Malta and Paris Orly Airport (ORY), and 5x/weekly flights between Malta and Lyon (LYS).

By leveraging KM Malta Airlines’ route network, Air France will be able to offer convenient connections to/from various destinations both in Europe and its intercontinental network.

Passengers flying with KM Malta Airlines can now book flights beyond Paris to domestic and European destinations served by Air France, giving them a wider range of travel options and greater flexibility.

Customers of both airlines can enjoy a smoother travel experience, checking in at their departure airport and collecting their check-through baggage at their destination.

Said a KM Malta Airlines spokesperson: “This partnership will not only strengthen the position of KM Malta Airlines in the market but also offer passengers enhanced connectivity and added travel options. KM Malta Airlines is looking forward to working closely with Air France to provide a superior travel experience to its customers.”

The news comes on the heels of a similar announcement in early February about KM Malta Airlines’ new bi-lateral codeshare agreement with Lufthansa Group (comprising Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines and Swiss), effective March 31, 2024. The agreement will allow customers of each airline to book a single ticket across multiple flights involving KM, LH, LX, OS and SN.
