Get ready for more travel options this year! Universal Air has announced an expansion to its European route network, introducing direct flights connecting Malta to Debrecen in Hungary, and Debrecen to Leipzig in Germany. Kicking off on 30th March, these year-round flights will run twice weekly - on Thursdays and Sundays.

The Malta–Debrecen–Leipzig route will be serviced by the De Havilland Canada Dash 8 aircraft, boasting 78 seats. The first flight to Debrecen will depart from Malta International Airport on 30th March, with tickets available now. 

The new direct connection between Malta and Debrecen allows passengers to continue their journey on to Leipzig, offering more possibilities for exploration. Plus, Hungarian travellers located close to Debrecen now have the opportunity to fly directly to Malta and soak up its Mediterranean charm.

Debrecen, Hungary’s second-largest city, located on the Great Hungarian Plain, offers travellers culture, history, and several places to put one's feet up and enjoy the greenery too, often being referred to as the 'Capital of the Great Plain'. The city is also known for the University of Debrecen, bringing some youthful energy to the streets.

Leipzig, Germany’s rapidly growing business and cultural hub, is a city that has something for everyone. With a buzzing arts scene, a strong musical heritage, and major industries fuelling its economy, Leipzig is a go-to destination for both work and play. It’s also home to some of the world’s most influential trade fairs, making it a top spot for corporate travellers.

Whether you’re eager to experience the beauty and charm of Debrecen or seeking a new gateway to explore the rest of Europe, this might be a sign!

Where will you travel to next?
