Air Malta will be introducing a new service between Catania and Vienna following the bankruptcy and immediate withdrawal of NIKI from this popular market.
The Maltese national carrier will operate a twice weekly service from Malta to Vienna via Catania every Tuesday and Friday. The new scheduled service will come into effect as from the 19th January.
Paul Sies, Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer commented: “We are very happy to be able to fill the void Niki left after its bankruptcy. We will publish as special fare for stranded passengers to facilitate any passenger that initially had booked through Niki.’’
Minister Konrad Mizzi emphasized that the introduction of this new route is aligned to Government's strategy to develop Airmalta as the airline of the Mediterranean. Mizzi explained that Airmalta will be increasingly looking for new profitable opportunities in order to grow its route network.
