Facts about Malta and its Airport

Malta International Airport, strategically located between the towns of Luqa and Gudja, is the archipelago's only air gateway. As an airport that handles millions of passengers annually, especially during high season, the terminal can be overwhelming. Although there are bus services connecting Luqa with major centres such as Valletta or St. Julian's, travelling with luggage on public transport, which is often saturated and makes multiple stops, is not the most relaxing way to start your stay.

With Ziptransfers, you will enjoy absolute comfort from the very first minute. As soon as you pass through the arrivals gate of the Maltese terminal, you will see our professional driver holding a welcome sign with your name. Forget about looking for stops or carrying heavy suitcases up steep streets; we offer you a door-to-door service that saves you time and effort.

Our service is designed to save you the stress of traffic and the difficulties of navigating the island's roads, guaranteeing a direct and safe journey to your hotel, apartment, or rental villa anywhere in the Maltese geography.
