I don’t think I’ve seen it reported but Cagliari is dropped next year. So Air Malta will be 5x weekly - 2x weekly Catania and 3x weekly Malta.

To me KIV-SEN seems an odd choice of route.
Isn't this the sort of market SEN was after - new entrants which want an alternative to the other LON airports?

Yes indeed. Let's hope the service will be better advertised both sides than the Paderborn was.

Yes but your choice of routes needs care. A small market already well covered at two other LON airports doesn't tick many boxes with me.

Do we know how many weeks the flights will operate?

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

Average pax loads on CAG were around 100 since the route commenced this summer.

I flew MAN-SEN and someone was connecting to GLA. People will definitely fly SEN-Chisinau-Moscow if it saves them a tenner.

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?

Source? There are no flights to book for either Cagliari or Malta on the two days it previously operated. That is for June, not winter.

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?
