Airport Direct

Malta Public Transport is excited to offer a convenient and efficient new service: the Airport Direct Bus. This service provides a comfortable, frequent, and quick connection between Malta International Airport and some of the island’s most popular destinations, including:

• TD1 (Rabat, Buġibba, Mellieħa, Ċirkewwa)
• TD2 (St. Julian's, Pembroke)
• TD3 (Gżira, Sliema, St. Julian's)
• TD4 (Valletta, Fast Ferry to Gozo)

Convenient Airport Transfers for Travellers

Designed for your comfort, the Airport Direct buses are equipped with comfortable seats, USB charging ports, free WiFi, and plenty of space for luggage. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, you can count on a smooth and enjoyable ride to your destination.

The Airport Direct Bus is included as part of your Unlimited Travel Card, meaning you can use the service at no extra cost if you already have this card. Alternatively, if you’re not using the Unlimited Travel Card, you can pay just €3 per passenger with either cash or contactless payment onboard. Personalised tallinja card holders can benefit from a reduced fare of €1.50 on all Airport Direct routes.

There’s no better way to start or end your trip in Malta with a reliable, affordable, and comfortable airport transfer.
