Air Malta are not allowed to operate the Bristol to Egypt flights under their own KM code, currently they operate under the JN code and the flights are sold as ‘Excel Scheduled’.

Would think there is enough business to go around for them. I recall the EI A321s pitching up at some strange times and locations, like full of happy Dubliners on tour to places like MIR.
Monarch also were doing a few DUB ops in recent years.

Seriously though this has been planned for over two years now. Don´t be surprised to see Flyant (cargo division of Futura) show up in DUB soon enough... might see them on the west coast beforehand if the fish is available for export

Futura was started by Aer Lingus back in the late 80's And they still have a 20% share with them now.

Hmmm I thought I posted it on here but I flew on the first Futura Gael flight on Monday. I was 737-400 EI-DOR and we flew DUB-SNN-DUB without landing.
We were given some sandwiches and drinks etc.
The aircraft is in normal FUA colours but has Gael in light writing on the side.
The IAA were in attendance just watching everything.
