-Scheduled airlines which fly to Malta throughout the year include British Airways, Alitalia, Lufthansa and Emirates. BA flights are operated by GB Airways flying in BA livery. Other regular visitors include Austrian Airlines, SAS, Sterling, Finnair and Tuninter. Regular charter airlines include My Travel, First Choice, Thomas Cook and Thomsonfly. Some of these are seasonal: in summer traffic increases considerably. As already mentioned, the best bet for the overseas visitor is to consult the flight schedules on the MLA website. Aircraft types used include various turboprops, A319s/320s, A321s, A330s (mostly Emirates), MD-80s, Boeing 737s, 757s and 767s, and (in summer) Tu-154s. An-124s visit very often for layovers. Occasional visitors, particularly in summer, can include anything from military aircraft in transit to chartered 747s.
