Airport World provides a snapshot of the latest route development news from Malta, Brisbane, Athens and Nice Côte d’Azur airports:

Malta - Its expanding route network and the growing year-round appeal of Malta means that the island nation’s international airport is already so confident of a good 2019 that it has predicted that a record 7.2 million passengers (+5.8%) will pass through its facilities this year.

Brisbane - Airport CEO, Gert-Jan de Graaff, says: “With Brisbane’s new runway opening in less than 18 short months, the decision by AirAsia to bring its first-ever aircraft from the low-cost hub, Don Muang International Airport in Bangkok, to Brisbane, was a prudent move.

Nice Côte d’Azur - becomes the first French airport outside of Paris to have a direct flight to Kuwait when Kuwait Airways launched a new twice-weekly B777-300 service from June 3 to September 12.
