Over the last few months he said he had been actively
working together with the Malta Tourism Authority
and the MIA to essentially understand where the gaps
are in the local routes following detailed discussions
with a number of airlines “so that we can create solu-
tions to mitigate those gaps. This could be by increas-
ing the frequency of certain flights and connections,
like increasing their weekly frequency, or else con-
sidering moving some to the winter months as well as
tapping new destinations” he explained.
“We are, in fact, working with a number of airlines
including Air-Malta on this especially because of their
market positioning. I believe that our national car-
rier has an important role to play in it all to ensure
that we have a Malta-based niche carrier for links to
Europe and North
