This new collaboration has now given keep travelers direct flights between Malta and Doha in Qatar, which have been operating daily since July.

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker confirmed that Malta had long been an aspiring destination for the company, also due to pressure from Maltese nationals in the Pacific for a direct link to Europe. The demand eventually became so intense, it left the company no choice but to open direct flights between the two nations two years prior to originally planned.
