Air Malta staff deliver record weekend

Over 12,000 passengers travelled on Air Malta last weekend in what the airline described as a record 48 hours performance, far superior to any results from these past years.

In just two days (Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th) the airline operated over 80 flights achieving an average seat load factor of 93%.

Paul Sies, Chief Commercial Officer at Air Malta commented; “This is a great achievement by all our staff and especially in the areas of commercial and operations! It was our best weekend over the last two years surpassing even mid-August figures of the past two years which are usually the airline’s best performing period. This performance is even more significant particularly when we note that it surpassed our performance two years ago when we operated with two more aircraft and there is more competition from other airlines on our more popular routes. There is no doubt that Air Malta plays a crucial and essential role in pro- viding air connectivity to and from the Maltese islands.

“Last weekend some of our flights including those to/from Switzerland and Russia ran with over 95% load factors. This is good news for the airline and even better is that we believe to surpass this figure in the next weekends”, added Mr Sies.

Air Malta thanked all its employees for contributing to sell these seats and front-liners who helped servicing its guests.
