Air Malta has said that “in view of the slow demand from the UK market since Malta remained off its green list for travellers, Air Malta has taken the decision to cancel all flights to/from Manchester that were originally planned for the period 20th July to 10th September 2021.”
The Airline will also be cancelling 11 return flights in July to/from London Heathrow reducing the schedule to six times a week with a daily morning service except on Tuesdays.
It went on to say that following strong bookings from the French and Dutch markets, the Maltese Airline will be adding a weekly service to their capital cities from the 20th of July..
As from this date, flights to/from Paris’ Charles De Gaulle Airport will operate daily except on Wednesday, whilst as from the 24th of July flights to/from Amsterdam will operate daily except on Tuesday and Sunday.
Then as from September, a further weekly service will be added, thus increasing the services to the Dutch capital to six times a week, the Airline said.
Commenting on these changes, Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer Roy Kinnear stated, we are closely monitoring all the developments in the market and adapting our network accordingly.
He added that “unfortunately, the continued absence of green list status in the UK and the decline in advance bookings with no obvious signs of improvement, we are left with no option but to consolidate our planned operations.”
Kinnear stressed that “the UK remains an integral part of our future network plans and Air Malta will re-consider its position if the circumstances change.”
Air Malta will operate direct flights this summer to/from 19 cities: Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels, Catania, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Geneva, Lisbon, London Heathrow, Lyon, Munich, Milan Linate, Palermo, Paris Charles De Gaulle, Paris Orly, Prague, Rome, Vienna, and Zurich.
