Air Malta has recently been chosen as the preferred ground handling partner by Turkish Airlines, Air Baltic and Monarch Airlines at Malta International Airport. Starting this summer the airlines will operate over 140 flights to/from Malta.
Commenting on this announcement, Air Malta’s Chief Operations Officer, Silvio Falzon said, “This is good news for Air Malta. We are thrilled that these international airlines have chosen us as their preferred ground handling partner. The steady implementation of the restructuring process across the ground handling function is continuing and is facilitating the acquirement of new business opportunities.”
John Vella, Head of Ground Services was equally enthusiastic. “We have worked hard to secure such business considering the stiff competition in this market. We are proud to list Air Baltic, Monarch and Turkish to the growing list of over 15 international airlines that make use our ground handling services. Last July we announced an investment of over 3.5 million euros in new ground handling equipment and we have also invested heavily in re-training our staff. Such initiatives give us the competitive edge which prospective clients expect in providing a safe, reliable and cost effective service. I wish to thank all staff within ground handling for this achievement. It would not have been possible without their dedication and support.”
