London-Moscow is about 4 hours flying time.
Going via Chisinau adds at least an hour of flying time without even considering time for an aircraft to climb/descend or time changing planes
I've flown with FlyOne and AirMoldova - neither is luxurious. If Easyjet can't make London-Moscow work, then along with the plethora of options via places like Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Copenhagen it will be very hard to persuade people to buy Southend-Chisinau-Moscow unless the price is very low

On the same day Wizz announced a new route to Catania from Luton (did Air Malta know) and increasing the Chisinau service from nine to ten weekly. I think Air Moldova will need all the luck they can muster.

It's never good to read that a route will end, but I see Air Malta's decision to continue into the summer of 2019 as a real positive. Or looked at from another way, had they called it a day that would have been a kick in the teeth for SEN.

Glyn Jones has been quiet for so long I wondered if he'd been poisoned by a dodgy cockle or whelk from Old Leigh. Here he seems back to his best:

It looks to me that the Air Malta SEN - Cagliari service has only been suspended for the winter. The Air Malta timetable shows it resuming on March 31 then continuing through S19 .
So the KM schedule for SEN summer 2019 is daily. 3 x MLA non stop, 2 via CTA, 2 via CAG

Can KM make MLA non-stop without payload limits?

Cagliari
tophat......What have you heard differently? I have just had a poke around on Air Malta's booking site and every time I tried Southend to Cagliari for June next year I got redirected to Heathrow flights. Obviously not saying you're wrong, but what goes on?
