RYANAIR ESTABLISHES MALTA AIR

RYANAIR IS SETTING UP a new carrier called Malta Air which will take over more than 60 of its routes to the Mediterranean island, as well as adding new ones. The move has been approved by the Maltese government, which claims it will not be a threat to flag carrier Air Malta.

Ryanair recently announced plans to move to a group structure similar to that of IAG, with subsidiaries including Austria’s Laudamotion and Poland’s Buzz, as well as its Ireland and UK operations.
