In a long-anticipated move, reports are claiming that, the Maltese government is set to unveil its plans for a new national airline, poised to replace Air Malta.
After marathon discussions and negotiations with the European Commission, the official announcement is scheduled for Monday.
As reported by The Times, passengers can rest assured that the transition to the new airline will not disrupt flight schedules.
The number of aircraft in the fleet will remain unchanged, and even the airline’s name will stay the same. This strategic approach aims to minimise any inconvenience for travellers and maintain the high level of service they have come to expect from Air Malta.
One of the most crucial aspects of this transition is the retention of Air Malta’s workforce. While details regarding the integration process are yet to be fully disclosed, it is expected that existing employees will have a place in the new airline. This move reflects the government’s commitment to safeguarding jobs within the aviation sector.
The government’s official announcement, to be delivered by Finance Minister Clyde Caruana on Monday, will provide the public with a comprehensive overview of the new airline’s structure and operations. This eagerly awaited disclosure will clarify the exact nature of the changes and the future prospects for the aviation industry in Malta.
In a noteworthy development, the new airline is set to be named “KM Malta Airlines plc.”
