The airline plans to operate the route 4x weekly though the schedules change depending on the date. On Wednesdays and Fridays, flights will operate on the following schedule:

The airline plans to use its Airbus A320 aircraft on the route which features 12 Business Class seats and between 120-132 Economy seats.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, had this to say about the relaunch of service to Malta:
“Qatar Airways is delighted to announce the resumption of our flights to Malta, which marks a vibrant addition to our robust European network. Qatar and Malta enjoy staunch economic ties, and our operational relaunch to the country only furthers our relationship.”
Flights for the route are currently on sale via the Qatar Airways website for travel to Malta International Airport (MLA), which is a short drive from the capital city of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Travelers to and from Malta have connecting opportunities on Qatar Airways to more than 170 destinations around the globe and, while it’s been a few years, one of my favorite flights to date was on a Qatar Airways A350-1000 with QSuites.
Summary
Qatar Airlines is relaunching service between Doha and Malta using Airbus A320 aircraft. The route will be operated 4x weekly though times will differ depending on the day. The relaunch of service will give Qatar almost 50 destinations in Europe and allow travelers to and from the island connecting opportunities with 170 destinations.
