How this list is maintained

Airline lists date faster than almost anything else on an airport site, because carriers fail, merge and drop routes without warning. This one was last reviewed against the airport's own departures board on 14 September 2026, and four entries were removed or replaced at that review: Alitalia ceased operations in October 2021 and its AZ code passed to ITA Airways; Air Malta ceased on 30 March 2024 and was succeeded by KM Malta Airlines, which kept the KM code; Aeroflot suspended its international network in March 2022; and Air Moldova suspended all operations in May 2023. Wizz Air's IATA code was also corrected to W6.

For the carriers actually flying today, rather than the ones that hold a licence to, check the live departures and arrivals boards.
