Air Malta said today that  it will be lifting many restrictions relating to the use of portable electronic devices on board its aircraft. Handheld devices, such as tablets, smartphones and e-readers may be used during all phases of the flight as long as they are set to ‘flight mode’ prior to departure.

Phone calls are still prohibited but passengers are allowed to use their cameras, play video games, listen to music and read their e-Books.
