Twan, Air Malta has it's problems, that's for sure. Pilfering and over staffing are just two of them. However the 2000 staff you mention is the Group's total employes, including staff at 3 hotels and several other companies. Notwithstanding, it is overstaffed as you mention. Hopefully new stratagies will be put in place sooner rather than later.

There is a similar here rumour here that KM's losses are hidden into ZS's balance sheets. This is probably because ZS's losses are so inexplicable. However it is not so easy to play around with figures like such, in seperate companies and in different countries, so one has to be level headed.

This topic is not about KM's problems.....it has many, as we know; But about Azzurra's change in fortunes over the last couple of years. There is nothing I would like more, than see Azzurra prosper, however many questions are still unanswered.

Why has it been loosing so much dosh with just ACMI contracts and charter flights? How was Alitalia allowed to play dirty like that? Could something have been done earlier? What is being done now? Is there a plan? Why did the management step down? Who is now 'in command'? Indeed, who owns it? Is ZS still flying Air Littoral's routes? I heard today that ZS Italy stopped it's only remining route to Rotterdam.......why? Will Manchester ops be affected if ZS Italy goes down?
