Air Malta’s daily flight to Milan has been suspended until further notice due to the current situation in Northern Italy amid the Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak.

In a statement on Sunday night, the airline, whilst calling for calm, said that on consultation with the Prime Minister, the responsible Minister and Government agencies, the management of Air Malta has resolved to take this decisive action as a measure of reassurance.

“The safety of our passengers, crew and staff, and the concerns raised by the people of Malta is our first priority,” said the Airline in its statement.

The airline went on to point out that the US’ Centres for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organisation do not suggest restricting flights to and from Milan in their recommendations.

All passengers affected by the cancellation of flights will be notified. The airline is constantly monitoring the evolving situation and will announce any changes as they arise
