Hey whitefly, I strongly suggest that you clarify whether or not you have to be a Maltese national before you hop on yer bike! Management at Airmalta (Malta base) is quite chaotic... they might have left a sentence out or made a mistake. The advert would have passed from manager to assistant to assistant's assistant to secretaray to secretary's assitant etc etc... hehe!
As far as I know Airmalta is currently not recruiting non-locals to be based in Malta....
