Wynnwith are advertising via Aviation job search for 146 rated captains for Efly. Although I believe the start date has been delayed, they are still looking for more captains. However it is somewhat worrying that Efly have both their aircraft up for sale.

G-OFMC is the same RJ100 that they operated on their SEN-CGN shuttle for the past couple of years, until they suspended all operations in December last year.
If your information on a re-start comes from Airliner World, all I can say is that nobody else seems to have any information which confirms this as being the case and they certainly haven't recommenced operations yet.

Website up to it's old tricks. Takes you to the marina site again. Interestingly the logo for the marina is the same as that on the tail of the Efly 146, so perhaps there is a link?
I understand that the first 146 arrived in Malta a couple of weeks ago now and operations were due to start as soon as the AOC was issued. Anyone know what the current situation is?

Update here: timesofmalta.com - Efly plans to offer low cost business travel
Says there planning flights to LGW, surely LCY would be a better option? Considering KM has taken over BA's slots and there a business airline?

Probably a little too far to get from LCY to Malta with performance restrictions.
Funnily enough, that was one of the main reasons that the RJX was developed - the extra performance and efficiency would turn a marginal destination into a relatively easy one. Some prime Euro destinations are just out of reach of a 146 from LCY.

Not a hope of working. Firstly LGW - MLA is on the limits for a 146. Secondly, my economics suggest an average yield requirement ex taxes at 70% load factor of €165 per sector. Selling economy at €50, forget it! They do not hold an AOC, so how are they applying for slots? Also heard there has been a lot of key departures in the last week, head of flight ops and head of engineering. Don't get me wrong I hope it works, but you need to get the fundamentals spot on very quickly to stand any chance!
