Air Malta has launched a scheme that guarantees that flights will be run “even with one person on board,” Economy Minister Silvio Schembri stated.
Announcing the scheme during the winter schedule roll-out, Schembri said that this would give people peace of mind while traveling with Air Malta and, as long as the law permits, flights would be run even if there were a lot of cancellations.

No stranger to controversial moves and approvals, Malta’s Planning Authority has just agreed upon the plans for 20,000 square meters of agricultural land to be turned into the Chinese Embassy.
The Pembroke square of land was almost unanimously agreed upon except for NGO representative Annick Bonello and Pembroke councillor Kevin Borg.
The Chinese Government will pay €350,000 which should be used to dampen the environmental impact.

The vetting of over 200 applications for Air Malta’s CEO position has begun. The post became available back in August and this is the first time that a public call of this sort was issued, according to Economy Minister Silvio Schembri.
Air Malta’s previous CEO Clifford Chetcuti had allegedly resigned for personal reasons and agreed to occupy the post until the new CEO is appointed.
In the meantime, the government plans to secure a state aid for the airline, which Schembri reports that is yet to be presented to the European Commission.
