Updates with Air Malta Facebook post at 3.30pm
Air Malta has announced that it will operate its scheduled flights to and from Italy on Tuesday after a planned air traffic strike was called off due to the national emergency there.
The airline had said earlier that it was cancelling a number flights to and from Italy due to the planned strike by Italian air traffic controllers.
The affected flights were KM640/1 and KM642/3 from Malta to Catania, KM624/5 from Malta to Milan Linate, and KM612/3 from Malta to Rome. Return flights for the same day were also cancelled.
But in an updated post, Air Malta said Italian air traffic controllers had called off the strike due to the COVID-19 national emergency so all flights will operate as planned.
Passengers scheduled to travel on these flights have been requested to contact Air Malta’s call centre on +356 25991230 in case of difficulty.
The airline apologised for any inconvenience caused by circumstances which it said were beyond its control.
