Air Malta are under pressure from Ryanair and Easyjet in the UK market even from London at the moment.
Manchester has been one of their longest operating routes - In fact just a few days after London in the 1974 using leased PIA Boeing 720s - Actually its stated before that as Malta Airlines using a wet leased BEA Trident overnight on a Friday /Saturday !
Whilst under pressure i don't see them pulling out -Just that they have yet to release the 2016 schedules for sale - Could see the frequency reduce though.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for that, a few weeks ago there were flights available and they were the cheapest by far. But now there's only flights from LHR and LGW for next year available.
