On his part, Air Malta’s Executive Chairman, David G Curmi, said:

“We are happy to note the gradual increase of consumer confidence and propensity to travel this summer. This increase, driven primarily by the success of the vaccination rollouts in many countries, especially in Malta, augurs well for an easing of travel restrictions and a restart in tourism this summer. We are happy to be part of the process and help re-open our Islands to tourism.

“The health and safety of our customers and crew remain our top priority and we will continue to abide by all health and safety requirements of the countries to and from which we operate.”
