Air Malta has advised that some of its flights will be delayed today, after Air Malta flight KM 467 from Paris Orly to Malta on Friday, could not be operated on Friday evening due to technical reasons,
The airline said that a group of Air Malta engineers is travelling to Paris “to inspect and fix the aircraft,” which is currently grounded at Orly airport.
As a consequence of this, Air Malta said that a number of flights for today, including KM116/7 to/from London Gatwick and KM102/3 to/from London Heathrow will be delayed.
Those passengers scheduled to travel on the flight from Orly were given complimentary accommodation for the night and refreshments, the airline said.
Any passengers affected today will be offered assistance that includes snacks “depending on the extent of the delay,” Air Malta said. “They will be given compensation in line with statutory requirements.”
An Air Malta spokesperson said that the airline gave utmost importance to the safety and well-being of its clients and crew and is doing its utmost to operate the flights with minimal disruptions.
