FAO-JOE FALZON, Did you actually read what I wrote?I said that the fuel surcharge was to be removed in November and asked why should we wait until then?Also cheeck out other airline websites and you will see that Air Malta are the only airline to apply a fuel surcharge NOW!

YES Yes yes @Mr.Peter Murry i go along with that, it would be far better for us frequent flyers who happend to reside on the island then we don't have to look further for cheaper airlines, if only AirMalta come to their sences and see the difference it would make to the economy and their airline, i for one will stop useing RyanAir or EasyJet and book with Airmalta but until such time i am not prepared to wait until NOVEMBER, thats child's play my Inteligent Maltese friends!

Nice technology were it works!! I work in the Libyan desert and whenever I need to change or re-book a flight I have to call Air Malta in Malta as Air Malta's telephone system in Tripoli has not worked for the past 8 or 9 months at least. We were told that a new system has been installed...... If I send an email to Air Malta's offices in Tripoli it will be replied to about 2 days later....... And NO it's not because it's Libya.

What about Air Malta launching the immediate removal of the fuel surcharge levy instead of waiting until Novemeber ?.Incidentally,Air Malta a remain the ONLY airline still applying such a surcharge.It's reduced fares we want not gimmicks!

What about security does the new system open other loop holes to danger of freaks and saboteurs.

Well done Air Malta! But can you also please try to solve the following:
a) why does Lufthansa not provide passengers with the boarding card for the second leg of a ticket on an AirMalta flight even when the ticket is issued in full by Lufthansa? This results in a lot of rush and hassle especially via Frnakfurt, ;
b) why cannot one check in on an Air Malta flight on-line when the ticket is not issued by Air Malta itself, but, say, by Lufthansa or Brussls Air, and this despite the code-sharing agreements in place?
c) why is Air Malta using the extremely stuffy Gate 1 in Frankfurt, without air-conditioning for a number of months, and isolated from all the other gates?
d) why has it allowed MIA to force passengers through a ridiculous detour of the shopping malls in the departure area in Malta rather than facilitate a direct route to the gates?
e) why is Air Malta not allowing its frequent passengers with just a few missing airmiles for upgrading their Flypass card to do so during the following year but have to start all over again?

All these involve Air Malta services...so some urgent attention please!
