Why Fly Private
Malta's small commercial airport handles a high volume of budget airline traffic, leading to congested terminals and limited premium service. Private aviation bypasses this entirely, and the island's central Mediterranean location means flight times from most European cities are under three hours — perfect for a long weekend by light jet.
Private Jet Experience
Landing at Malta International Airport, your jet parks at the VIP terminal where customs officers board the aircraft for expedited clearance. A private car is waiting on the apron, and within fifteen minutes you are crossing into Valletta's fortified gates, greeted by the warm limestone glow of this UNESCO World Heritage city.
