Prime Minister ‘hands himself certificate of failure’ on Air Malta – Labour

“Air Malta was the fruit of the sacrifices of a Labour government and had to overcome scepticism from conservative forces behind the PN. Its leadership made Air Malta an economic contributor without a single cent in subsidies. It was wrong decisions by people trusted by GonziPN that cost the company millions,” Coleiro-Preca said.

The Labour MP said the company today was suffering from a lack of leadership and that the government was not paying importance to this national asset. “Air Malta doesn’t even have a full-time chairman at such a delicate period for tourism and the economy.”

Coleiro-Preca said Labour believed there was still a future for the national airline “if government gives it trust and vision. A Labour government is ready to this without any hidden agenda.”
