The aviation sector in Malta continues to experience significant growth as more airlines consider setting up operations on the Mediterranean island.

The carrier wants to operate regional feeder services in Europe like it does in the US for American Airlines and United Airlines.

Routes analyzes some of the services returning as well as new routes being launched. This week we look at Qatar Airways resuming Lagos; Wizz Air’s first Italian domestic routes; and American Airline adding Daytona Beach flights.

The carrier is the only US airline to post a quarterly profit in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
