If this grim weather is getting you down, it might be time to start dreaming of your next adventure abroad! Universal Air has announced two new destinations that will be flying directly to and from Malta – Rimini in Italy and Santorini in Greece.

Rimini, an Italian city on the Adriatic coast, is located in the Emilia-Romagna region – one of the favourites with foodies! It's known for its beach-side nightclubs as well as its historical culture, evident in the incredible architecture all across the city. Two-hour direct flights from Malta to Rimini will take place every Thursday, starting on the 29th of May.

Santorini, known for its iconic white houses with blue roofs alongside incredible views of the coast of Greece, will now be more easily accessible from Malta, with direct two-hour flights every Monday and Thursday, starting on the 5th of June – perfect for an early taste of summer!
