Air Malta’s new Airbus A320neo joins the airline’s fleet
The brand new 180-seater Airbus A320neo joined the Air Malta's fleet at the end of last week.
The new aircraft has aptly been registered on the Maltese aircraft register as 9H-Neo.
Air Malta is the 21st airline worldwide to be flying this new generation A320 with CFM engines. Straight out of the production line, the new A320neo is currently in Shannon, Ireland, where it has been repainted with the airline's intricate yet stunning livery.
The painting process required strong expertise and experience in order to have the multi-layered designs applied to the fuselage. In fact a skilled team of paint specialists and technicians using stencils, masks, different grades and layers of paint carried out the work.
Apart from the airline's colourful livery the aircraft has also been branded with cartoon characters to promote a Nickelodeon Treasure Hunt that will take place on the islands between 13 and 18 April 2019.
The partnership with media giant Viacom will see a week of Nickelodeon activities across the island, including a character parade, as well as a child-friendly treasure hunt and workshops.
Air Malta's chairman Dr Charles Mangion said: "Thanks to its new state-of-the-art aerodynamics and new generation engines the Neo offers unbeatable efficiency and environmental performance. On a Malta-London Heathrow flight, the airline will save up to 1.3 tons of fuel per trip, 6,200 tons of CO2 per year and a 24% reduction of CO2 emission per seat. Designed with the latest cabin features offering more cabin space and comfort, the aircraft also produces a 50% less noise footprint than the A320ceo. The new aircraft will offer Air Malta guests added comfort and an enhanced customer experience. It is no wonder that the A320 is the bestselling single-generation aircraft."
The Minister of Tourism Dr Konrad Mizzi added: "The arrival of the Neo marks and important step in the airline's history and development. Apart from enhanced fuel and environmental performance the aircraft fits perfectly with the airline's current fleet of A320ceos delivering seamless operation integration and also costs savings in terms of training of engineers and pilots. This type of aircraft will pave the way for a more modern Air Malta aircraft fleet and assist the airline to become the Airline of the Mediterranean."
The aircraft cabin interior offers 18-inch wide seats where passengers can enjoy more personal space in terms of comfort and leg room. The aircraft is also equipped with HD inflight entertainment screens.

Air Malta preparing to open new routes to Africa
An air optimism can be felt about Air Malta’s new routes. The Commercial Arja ta’ ottimiżmu dwar ir-rotot il-ġodda tal-Air Malta. The Chief Commercial officer, Paul Sies told TVM that almost all of the company’s aims have been met on almost all its routes. He added that at the moment the company is working to open new routes to African countries.
The majority of the 17 routes which Air Malta started operating this year appears to have met the projections of the company. Mr Sies said that the most popular routes were to Lisbon, Portugal and Kiev, Ukraine, while Venice so far has been disappointing.
“We are running at a 90% load factor, in the last few months, we are very happy about that, one of the most surprising routes is Kiev, a route which when you do the models and the studies, it showed it could work but it’s a lot of dependencies, but it is working very well, we introduced it quite late but it’s working with an 85% load factor, one of the routes we are less happy about is Venice,” he said.
“I think that it is a public secret that we are looking at how we can re-connect Africa and sub Saharan Africa with Malta and really create a hub in Malta. This is one of the strategies we are working on and the other one is, really using the islands in the Mediterranean to connect Malta and Europe, and if you look at the success of what we are doing between Malta, Catania and Sardinia and South end, is a very good example of it, how we are developing the airline, not only to grow in Malta but beyond” said Mr Sies.
According to Chairman Charles Mangion, the challenge for Air Malta to be able to continue with its strategy is to motivate its employees in this ambitious project.
“If we want the company to be saved, this commitment is essential, and most of the time we do find this co-ooperation, but we need to see an even greater commitment, we need to understand that if we want to save Air Malta and see it grow, we need everyone to work towards this objective.”
Dr Mangion said that last March, Air Malta for the first time in many years closed off its financial year without any losses, and is waiting for its accounts to be approved by the auditors.

London Southend welcomes the launch of daily flights by Air Malta
Air Malta has launched three new direct services to London Southend Airport in the past week.
The airline began by introducing a three times weekly connection on the 2,100-kilometre sector fromMaltaon 4 May, with this route operating on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
It then launched a link on the 1,513-kilometre Cagliari sector on 6 May, followed by the introduction of the 1,928-kilometre Catania route on 7 May. The Cagliari and Catania routes will both be served twice-weekly with the former operated on Wednesdays and Sundays, and the latter on Mondays and Thursdays.
This means that Air Malta will offer one flight per day from Southend, year-round.
There is no competition on the Cagliari and Catania airport pairs, which are the only services Air Malta operates from a UK airport that do not feature a direct connection to Malta. On both the Sardinia and Sicily links, there is an option to travel onward to Malta after a short stop. The direct Malta flights are the only new link with incumbent competition, with easyJet already providing two flights per week. All three routes will be flown on Air Malta A320s.
"This winter we will extend the terminal by about one-third and that will give us terminal capacity for about 6.0-6.5 million passengers per year," Glyn Jones, CEO of Stobart Aviation, owners of London Southend Airport, informed anna.aero Chief Analyst Nick Preston. "We have told our shareholders that we will be handling 5.0 million passengers by 2023 and the work that we're doing with Air Malta is a great step in the right direction. Making these three routes work is absolutely crucial," continued Jones. "Air Malta is a flag carrier with a two-class product, so we're serving business class passengers and expanding our offering. If we can make this work and I am absolutely confident that we can, it will set a good example for other carriers to look at."
Joseph Galea, Acting CEO Air Malta said "Air Malta is very excited. London has always been a major destination for Maltese people, and Malta is a popular attraction for British people, so the connectivity we are now offering between Malta and London - plus Cagliari and Catania - makes it very exciting for us. Mostly we fly point to point, but the London Southend product gives us the opportunity to combine Sardinia and Sicily - it is already doing well, so we are thrilled as it is where we want to go in the future."

Air Malta adds a ninth aircraft to its fleet
Airbus A320 to be operational shortly, airline says
Air Malta has added a ninth aircraft to its fleet, as part of its plans to extend its route network and revive its ailing business.
The leased Airbus A320 landed in Malta late on Thursday and is expected to begin running flights on Air Malta's network within the coming days.
It has been reconfigured to the airline's specifications, with an Etihad Airways Engineering team applying Air Malta livery to the aircraft in Abu Dhabi.
As part of the preparatory process, the aircraft was also subjected to a six-year heavy maintenance check, Air Malta said in a statement announcing its latest fleet addition.
The aircraft is six years old, an Air Malta spokesman toldTimes of Malta.
Malta's national airline has come in for criticism over the past month for a series of flight delays, which sources inside the company have blamed on "hasty" decisions to lease aging planes.
The airline has denied that version of events, though last month it said that it had replaced a wet-leased aircraft following a raft of complaints.
Air Malta's summer schedule will add 17 new routes to its network, with three of those being flights between cities not involving Malta.
28th March 2018
Air Malta has expanded its operations fromMalta(MLA) this week, launching flights from its home base to Casablanca (CMN), Lisbon (LIS), Malaga (AGP) and Venice Marco Polo(VCE).

Air Malta launches Catania-Vienna flights, quietly ditches direct Berlin service
Airline steps in after flyNiki ceased operations
Air Malta has introduced Catania-Vienna route in line with the government's strategy to establish the carrier as the Airline of the Mediterranean, Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi has announced.
He said Air Malta stepped in after Austrian airline flyNiki stopped operations.
"Air Malta is looking for new profitable opportunities in order to grow its route network over the Mediterranean region," he said.
Air Malta over the past months increased its links with Sicily and introduced a scheduled service to Comiso along with those it has to Catania and Palermo. It is seeking to attract passengers from Sicily who will either be brought to Malta for onward destinations or will be flown directly from Sicily as is the case with the new service.
The new service will operate twice weekly.
Austrian low-cost airline flyNiki, headquartered at Vienna Airport, ceased operations on December 14. The airline was operating scheduled and charter services to European and North African leisure destinations from Vienna, Salzburg, Graz, Innsbruck and some German airports.
Hungarian airline WizzAir has also quickly stepped into the breach. It announced on Tuesday that it will base three aircraft in Vienna operating to various destinations, including a service to Malta from April.
Direct Berlin flights quietly stopped
Meanwhile, Air Malta has quietly ditched its direct flights to Berlin without making any prior announcements. A number of readers contacted Times of Malta, expressing their anger at the way Air Malta had suddenly dropped the route. In 2016, Air Malta announced it was increasing its flight frequency to up to three weekly flights on the Berlin route. Flights to Berlin can still be booked through Air Malta’s website, but the routes on offer involve a stopover at either Frankfurt, Munich or Brussels. Many of the flight combinations to Berlin for this month now cost over €300.
Questions sent to the airline asking why the route had been dropped and why no public announcement was made about it remained unanswered at the time of writing. Tourism Minister Konrad Mizzi has said the new strategy for returning the national carrier to profitability involved increasing the number of flights and routes on offer. Dr Mizzi took to the floor in Parliament to announce a number of new routes, including to St Petersburg, Casablanca and Lisbon. No announcement was made about the decision to stop flights to the German capital, however. The airline has faced a long, uphill battle to return to profitability. Its revenues were down by approximately €25 million during the financial year ending March 2017 compared to the previous year. That meant ending the fiscal year with a loss of more than €13 million, a figure three times higher than the €4 million in the red it posted in March 2016. The government has recently closed off a number of collective agreements with the various unions representing the airline’s workers.
Agreement with Air Malta’s pilots remains elusive, with Dr Mizzi missing a self-imposed deadline to reach an agreement with them by the end of 2017. The pilots’ union is holding out on signing, demanding a better pay package and improved conditions. The Times of Malta has previously reported how banks wanted the airline to conclude talks with all unions before they can green-light new credit facilities based on a new business plan. The four collective agreements which the airline wishes to conclude will cost an additional €16 million. However, the airline is hoping to increase its revenues by €100 million over the five-year period in order to return to the black.
