![Could Valletta Air replace Air Malta? Speculation not ruled out](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/airweb-1.jpg)
According to a report by MAviO News, there has been speculation during the past weeks on whether the government will close down Air Malta and replace it with Valletta Air.
Finance Minister Clyde Caruana had not ruled out the possibility of a new flag carrier when the news was first announced.
Following proceedings closely, MAviO News revealed that sources from Level 2 – SkyParks confirmed that one of the names being touted as a new national carrier could be Valletta Air.
The sources spoke to MAviO News on condition of anonymity and explained that other names have been proposed. Valletta Air still seems to have an above average level of acceptance among the limited number of those consulted on the issue.
Based on the title of the island’s capital city, this new name would also theoretically help distinguish itself from the current confusion which exists between Air Malta and Malta Air.
