Air traffic control strike in France to affect Air Malta flights

An air traffic control strike in France tomorrow will affect Air Malta flights KM466/7 Malta/Paris Orly/Malta, KM478/9 and Malta/Paris Charles De Gaulle/Malta.

The schedule flights KM416/7 Malta/Toulouse/Lyon/Malta and KM436/7 Malta/Marseille/Malta will operate as scheduled, the airline said.

It said that due to restricted airport resources the French Aviation authority requested all airlines to reduce their traffic programme into Paris and Air Malta has only been allowed to operate its flight KM478/9 to Paris Charles De Gaulle.

As a result passengers originally booked on KM466 Malta/Paris Orly are being offered to travel on flight KM478 Malta/Paris Charles De Gaulle.

The flight to Charles De Gaulle is scheduled to depart Malta at 2.15 p.m. local time. The passengers originally booked to travel Paris Orly to Malta on KM467 are being offered the opportunity to travel tomorrow on KM479 Paris Charles De Gaulle to Malta.

The flight is expected to depart Paris Charles De Gaulle at 6 p.m. hours arriving in Malta at 8.35 p.m.

Air Malta apologise to its passengers for any inconvenience which was totally beyond its control and urged its clients due to travel on the said flights to contact flight enquiries at Malta International Airport on 5004 3333 or the call centre on 2166 2211 for further information on arrival/departure times.
