The campaign coincides with the launch of Delta's direct service between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport and Malta International Airport, which began operating on the 8th of June.

Highlighting Malta's stunning coastline, turquoise waters and rich history, Delta said that anyone who has not yet considered the island as a destination should place it on their travel list.
