Air Malta is reconnecting Malta to North Africa following the re-start of scheduled services between the islands and Tunis Carthage Airport as from Monday, June 26th. “We are very excited to announce that we will be returning to North Africa this summer with up to three direct flights a week,” said Paul Sies, Air Malta chief commercial officer.

Air Malta has announced the appointment of Joseph Galea as acting chief executive as the two-year term of the present chief Philip Micallef comes to an end. Galea has over thirty years’ experience in the travel industry and for the last two years has been deputy chief commercial officer with Air Malta, following a long stint with MTA as director international marketing based in Germany.

Air Malta has confirmed it will be increasing its schedule between Malta and Djerba with an additional weekly frequency every Tuesday with effect from September 16th. The Maltese airline will therefore be operating three weekly flights to/from the Tunisian city every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Air Malta has announced it will commence flights from Glasgow Airport in 2014 a month earlier than planned, adding more than 1,300 extra seats. The inaugural weekly flight from Scotland’s largest city to the Mediterranean island nation will depart on Tuesday April 8th.

This summer, between May and October, Air Malta will again operate weekly charter flights to/from seven regional airports in the UK. In line with demand and operations in previous years, Air Malta will operate charter flights to/from Birmingham and Cardiff with two flights every week on Tuesdays and Fridays, and weekly flights on Tuesdays to/from Bristol, Exeter, Newcastle, Norwich and Glasgow airports.

Air Malta will optimise its staff travel management with myIDTravel from Lufthansa Systems. The integrated IT solution enables employees of Air Malta to issue electronic tickets for private and duty trips on other airlines.
