Air Malta said today that it had carried the millionth passenger to have booked a flight on its portal www.airmalta.com.

Fiona Farrugia bought her ticket for a flight to Brussels last December.

Upon arriving at the airport Departures Lounge this morning, she was greeted by Brian Bartolo, Air Malta's General Manager Marketing and Product, who told her about the milestone and presented her with a bottle of Champagne and a memento on the occasion. Both she and a friend were also offered an upgrade to Club Class on their flight to Brussels and two free return tickets each to any Air Malta destination.

Fiona Farrugia, of Zabbar, is a young mother. She is also a Critical Care Nurse and together with Patricia O'Brien, a physiotherapist, was travelling to Brussels for the 30th International Symposium on Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine.

Air Malta's booking engine was launched in April 2007. Today it offers a variety of services that cater for the airline customers' individual needs, from special dietary and religious meal requirements to children's meals, expectant mothers and people with special conditions.

Other services include web and mobile check-in whereby passengers can choose their seats online, travel insurance, car hire and hotel accommodation abroad.
