The route

Abu Dhabi → Luqa.

A private jet from Abu Dhabi to Luqa connects the UAE capital with Malta International Airport, the gateway to one of the Mediterranean's most extraordinary archipelagos: a tiny island nation of massive fortifications, Baroque palaces, crystalline lagoons, and one of the oldest free-standing stone temples in the world. Valletta, Europe's smallest capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage city of Baroque grandeur. The Blue Lagoon at Comino, the ancient temples of Mnajdra and Hagar Qim, and the upper city of Mdina all await within minutes of the airport.
