Air Malta organising repatriation lights after travel ban

Air Malta said yesterday that it is assisting the Maltese Government to organise repatriation flights to bring home Maltese nationals and residents following the ban on travel between Malta, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France and Spain.

This measure was taken to contain the spread of the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic. Flights from these countries have been suspended until further notice.

Minister for Economy, Investment and Small Businesses responsible for Air Malta, Silvio Schembri, thanked Air Malta for its collaboration in working with the Ministry. This was done in order to operate chartered flights to the mentioned destinations to bring back home stranded Maltese citizens.

Maltese nationals and residents affected from this travel ban and who are currently outside Malta need to contact this number: +356 22042200 or by email on sit

cen.mfea@gov.mt. If so directed, the customers need to call Air Malta on +356 21691909 to confirm their travel arrangements.

It is imperative that unless directed by the Government of Malta, Air Malta will not be in a position to confirm and process any travel arrangements.

The airline said it is constantly in touch with various Authorities and is closely monitoring the evolving situation. It will announce any changes as the need arises.
