According to the national airline Air Malta, its new website has registered an increase of 50% in tickets sold over the same day last week - a record figure since 2002 - when it launched its first internet booking engine. "Yesterday, the site's unique visitors also increased by 60% to over 21,000 visitors compared to the same day last week," Air Malta said in a statement.

To celebrate the launch of the new website, Air Malta launched a 25% discount special offer on all the airline's published fares. This promotion is available until today at 11:59pm.

It is a further milestone in the airline's efforts to restructure operations and to build a platform for an improved customer experience."
