Ethiopian B752 diverts to Malta IAP due to an engine problem
An
Ethiopian Airlines B757-200 (ET-ALZ), performing flight ET-703 from Milan-Malpensa IAP (Italy) via Rome-Fiumcino IAP (Italy) to Addis Ababa-Bole (IAP) with 135 people on board, was enroute at FL350
about 140nm ENE of Malta when the crew reported the
right-hand engine (PW2037) had been secured and decided to divert to
Malta drifting down to FL240.
The crew requested emergency services on
stand by and advised they were not yet sure about whether they needed to
stop on the runway or could vacate the runway, subsequently the crew
requested a lower altitude to drift down to. The aircraft drifted down
to FL150 and landed safely on Malta's RWY 31 about 40-mins after
leaving FL350. The aircraft taxied to the apron without stop.
The aircraft was able to depart again after about 10 hours on the ground and reached Addis Ababa with a delay of 11 hours. (Source: avherald.com, 19-Sep-2013)

Armed Forces of Malta acquires two fast rigid dinghies
M.I.A. plc releases traffic results for August 2013
The driver behind August’s record passenger movements came from an increase of 11.2% in seat capacity - thanks in part to M.I.A.’s efforts to increase routes and airlines.
Passenger movements are calculated by adding the number of arrivals and departures, meaning a passenger who enters and leaves Malta in the same month is counted twice.
Four of Malta’s five major markets registered growth in August. Italian passengers increased by 17.7%, while passengers from France and Germany grew by 9% and 3.9% respectively. The smallest growth was registered by U.K. passengers, an increase of 1.1%.
Between January and August, this year has already seen an increase of 8.7% over the same period last year. Aircraft movements registered an increase of 7% while seat capacity is up by 8.5%. (Source: maltairport.com, 5-Sep-2013)

Air Malta halves operating loss, increases revenue, passenger figures between April and June 2013
It said it reduced the operating loss for the quarter to €3.3 million (€6.1 million loss during the same period last year). The net result after restructuring costs (largely one-time charges) and interest costs was a loss of €4.9 million (€10.6), as anticipated in the Restructuring Plan approved by the European Commission.
Air Malta said the results were driven by constant improvements in the airline's revenue of €5.7million and by the increases in passenger numbers to 498,692 passengers (+28,908 passengers. The airline registered a seat load factor of 74% over this period. Performance on scheduled flights for the first quarter met expectations and was significantly better than last year.
Air Malta said these figures continued to build on the progress registered during the financial year ended in March.
On time performance, being reported for the first time in the airline’s quarterly figures, has improved by 5.5% to 84.6%. This measure indicates the percentage of flights that departed within 15 minutes of their scheduled time.
