Malta
It was an Air Malta Boeing 737-300 used on the route on behalf of Thomson Holidays and First Choice Holidays although separate companys at the time they shared the flight, it was not an Airtours chartered flight, plus Airtours never operated Boeomg 737s.
Several one off charters in conjunction with the Southern Daily Echo travel club along with Newmarket Holidays were also operated after Thomson and First Choice pulled Malta from there SOU IT schedule after only two seasons.
It has been mentioned that the flight went via BRS but I am sure some went via EXT!
