"Air Malta has implemented a number of strategies since 2017, including to strengthen routes and to compliment low-cost carriers in Malta," he said, higlighing that a new route to Cairo would soon be launched.
"It will now start focusing on medium-haul destinations, starting by looking at Mumbai as a possibility," he said.
