General description
Valletta (or Il-Belt) is the tiny capital of Malta, an island nation in the Mediterranean Sea. The fortified city was built in the 1500s on a peninsula by the Knights of St. John, a Roman Catholic order. The city is famous for its museums, palaces and imposing churches. Baroque landmarks include the Cathedral of St. John, whose opulent interior houses Caravaggio’s masterpiece, The Decollation of St. John the Baptist.
Chartering a private jet to Valletta gives you seamless access to this Mediterranean gem through Malta International Airport, just eight kilometres from the capital. Whether you travel for business, leisure or a discreet island escape, our dedicated team arranges a tailor-made service that meets the exacting standards expected by discerning travellers.

Useful information
Chartering a private jet to Malta with our team means working with a broker who has been arranging on-demand flights since 1991. Rather than owning a fixed fleet, we source the ideal aircraft for each mission across a global network, which keeps pricing competitive and options open. AEROAFFAIRES has been renting private jets since 1991 and ranks among the leading air charter brokers in France.
An experienced air charter broker since 1991
Our model is straightforward: we act as your logistics orchestrator, negotiating with vetted operators to find the right cabin at the right price. This differs from shared ownership or fractional programmes, where you commit capital to specific hours. With a broker, you fly only when you need to, on the aircraft that fits the trip. Every operator is checked for safety and legitimacy, protecting you against fraud and hidden costs. Transparency on the quote is a principle, not an option.

The right aircraft for your trip to Malta
The best jet charter for Malta depends on your departure point and party size. Three broad categories cover most requirements:
- Light jets: ideal for shorter Mediterranean hops such as Athens or Tunis, comfortably carrying small groups for regional flights.
- Midsize jets: a natural fit for routes like Paris or London, where a roomier cabin suits business travellers over a few hours of flying.
- Long range and heavy jets: suited to intercontinental legs from cities such as New York or Los Angeles, offering the range and comfort a long journey demands.
We deliberately avoid publishing fixed specifications here, because the right choice hinges on your exact schedule, passenger count and baggage. One of our advisors will confirm precise cabin dimensions, seating and a tailored quote once we understand your plans.
