Malta prepares to fly COVID-19 positive foreign students back home on Thursday afternoon on a medical flight to France. Revealed by Times of Malta, the special Boeing 737 place will fly around 128 patients to France in order to let them recover in their home country. Chartered by the Malta Tourism Authority, the flight will be operated by ASL Airlines France which also specialises in sanitary and medical flights.

Aside from knowledge of this specific flight, there is currently no information on whether similar flights are being planned. An MTA spokesman reported that around 200 other students had already been repatriated in two flights Monday and Tuesday. These had tested negative for the virus however, despite some being in quarantine. The spokesperson was also not allowed to reveal the cost of the flights, stating that the information was commercially sensitive.

The spokesperson revealed that the students being repatriated who are positive will not be mixed on the medical aircraft with those who tested negative. More than 500 of the active cases in Malta are students having come to the island to learn English. The first 58 Italian students repatriated described their return home as the end of a nightmare. At least a quarter of the country’s active COVID-19 cases are among young students from abroad, with around 40% of those infected reportedly asymptotic.

Bernard Grech ups Malta’s FATF white-listing 18 month target to 3 if PN is elected

Jul 22 2021

Opposition Leader Bernard Grech stated that, should the Nationalist Party win the next general election, Malta will be back on the white-list within a matter of just 90 days. After permanent secretary Alfred Camilleri, whose task it is to get Malta off the grey-list, released a statement claiming that Malta can get onto the white-list in 18 months, the Nationalist Party released a statement cutting the target to 3 months.

The PN warned that the Labour Party’s 18-month plan is too long for Malta, with Grech stating that Robert Abela does not have faith in his own government to ‘clean up our country’s reputation.’ The PN’s statement recalled the outcry to set up a National Task Force which involves experts and politicians alike to make the necessary changes.

The statement also says that the Nationalist Party will give the credibility which, according to the opposition, the Labour Party lacks. It claims that Prime Minister Robert Abela is not listening to the public’s cry, and that since he formed part of a cabinet led by a man voted to be the most corrupt politician in the world (referring to Joseph Muscat), Abela will simply ‘believe’ the grey-listing issue will fix itself.
