Malta International Airport (IATA code: MLA) is the only airport that currently serves Malta and its sister islands of Gozo and Comino, although up until recently, there was a Malta-Gozo helicopter service linking Malta International Airport (MIA) with the heliport in Xewkija, Gozo. This has, however been discontinued and the only other link with the other islands other than by road/ferry is a seaplane service from Grand Harbour, Valletta to Mgarr, Gozo.
This modern Malta airport is situated between Luqa and Gudja, 5 kms southwest of Malta’s capital city, Valletta, and the terminal was opened in 1992.

Couple friends of mine decided to sell their apartments, mainly because their respective families are getting bigger and need more space to live in. So here I am, trying to help everyone out by listing apartments for sale in Malta directly from owners.
Being a winter month, January’s weather in Malta can be a real mix of sunshine, cloud, rain and some strong winds. Strong winds usually blow for two to three days at a time, and can feel bitingly cold, especially on cloudy days and at night. Sometimes these winds can be harsh and can reach force 7 or 8. When rain falls, however, it’s not often for the whole day, usually falling in showers in either the morning or afternoon. Although a Mediterranean country, don’t expect sunbathing conditions if you visit in January; the conditions though, are ideal for walking, sightseeing or an activity holiday, as on most days, the sun will make an appearance at some point, averaging 5.5 hours per day.
