Air Malta in the Gulf is responsible for sales and operations in the Gulf Area with its Area office located in Dubai. It also has representative offices in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Kuwait. Air Malta is committed to service the Gulf Area and this shows by the fact that it has been operating uninterruptedly for the last 9 years, carrying just fewer than 200,000 in the process. Frequency of operations depend on market requirements and objectives from time to time and presently it operates 2 weekly schedule operations out of Dubai and Kuwait, departing every Thursday and Monday and returning on Wednesday and Monday. Its main market focus is to sell competitive fares to Malta either for a business visit or for vacation, or to carry on to various other European and North African destinations via Hub Malta. Our Gulf Area Office also represents Malta Tourist Authority (MTA).
Being a vibrant company, Air Malta is undergoing a period of change to improve upon its present performance and reputation its formation in 1973.
One of the major projects being undertaken is the revamping of its fleet to keep up with market requirements. A fleet plan shall be announced by the end of the year, incurring an investment of around USD 400m. The Government of Malta has announced privatization plans in line with its economic policy, however, without any set deadline.
It also aims to strengthen its Gulf network according to market forces. Kuwait, which is operating for the second year running, has been code-shared with Kuwait Airways as from June 2001.
