Have you been told by Ryanair then or just another assumption from
the way it is shown in the booking engine?

BHX-MLA has not even started, why the heck would an airline start a
route in winter and before it commences, cut it after a few months.

They were perfectly happy to start it in winter with competition from
Air Malta but why would Ryanair not want to operate it themselves
in the higher-yielding summer months?

I suggest it is under review with a view to deciding which base it will
operate from.

I can be very cynical when it comes to Ryanair but even I can't even see them pulling a flight weeks after the competition announced that they were withdrawing.

You can never judge a route on winter bookings alone and I will be amazed if this is not re-instated at a later date.

It is not even like the Cyprus Airways loss where there is plenty of IT flights as an alternative, Malta has just one IT in summer 2010 and that was a 738.
