As of early next year, Air Malta will implement and operate a new low-cost, no-frills service to and from London Stansted Airport. As of the 29th March 2004, Air Malta will be operating three weekly summer flights to London Stansted as low-cost, no-frill flights.
The airline has branded this new service as Fare 4U, which will operate every Monday, Wednesday and Friday departing Malta at 2100hrs. Seats on the Fare 4U designated flights will be on sale in Malta, the UK and the entire Air Malta network from the 8 December 2003 and one-way prices will start from an incredibly low rate of Lm23 (GBP38) excluding taxes. This one-way pricing structure will allow customers a greater amount of flexibility. Food and beverages on board Fare 4U designated flights will be available for sale.

As of 2nd May 2004, Air Malta will also start a London Gatwick to Catania route. The flights which will leave Malta on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday will stop in Catania allowing passengers to embark or disembark. The flight will then leave for LGW and the return flight will also stop in Catania on the way to Malta.
This service is due to Air Malta being allowed to carry revenue-generating passengers between European Union countries – without the passengers having to start or end their journey in Malta due to Malta entering the EU in May 2004.
