The number of CAG rotations operated in recent months was : August 9, September 9, October 9 and November 6 but I don't have the December numbers yet, if any. As you say it's a couple of weeks since you posted that SEN-CAG would not return in 2019 and that MLA would be 3 x weekly and CTA 2 x weekly (then onwards to MLA) and that is the current situation. The Echo have tried, successfully, to give the impression that major reductions are being made now for 2019 and that is not the case. As far as "diverting them to LGW" is concerned in the Echo story, the LGW-MLA operates via CAG on Sunday and Wednesday, until 24th March only, with direct MLA flights on the other days of the week. After 24th March LGW-CAG seems to be dropped with LGW-MLA direct operating daily. I don't know if that's a recent change but maybe Air Malta have decided that LGW-CAG-MLA is more commercially viable than SEN-CAG-MLA twice weekly for the rest of this winter. Whatever the reason it hardly warrants the Echo's headline.
