Air Malta has signed an agreement to lease out an Airbus A320 aircraft to Monarch Airlines for 19 months.
Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer Philip Saunders said the leasing section was very active over the past couple of months as Air Malta negotiated two aircraft leases in line with the EU-approved restructuring plan.
Meanwhile, Air Malta has just taken re-delivery of an Airbus A320 aircraft which had been leased to Interjet of Mexico. The aircraft, which had an Interjet livery, was repainted in the first Air Malta livery as part of the airline’s celebrations of its 40th anniversary since the start of its flying operations.
In line with the restructuring plan Air Malta currently operates with a fleet of 10 aircraft, 6 Airbus A320 and 4 Airbus A319.
