Air Malta has strengthened its resolve to take the difficult and necessary decisions to save the national airline which will also ensure a positive outcome for the country. This was the reaction of the airlines’ chairwoman Ms Maria Micallef after receiving the news of Cyprus Airways demise by the European Commission.
GRTU is in full support of Air Malta’s restructuring and it appeals to the various stakeholders involved to be reasonable and
understanding to the situation, because if the airline does not show future sustainability it could follow in the footsteps of Cyprus Airways.
Air Malta plays an important role not only for the stakeholders direct involved but also for the tourism industry that thrives from the business generated by the airline. These stakeholders must accept this change in the airlines operations as a new beginning to make it sustainable again so that they can benefit from its survival.
