Air Malta scores excellent in on-time performance

Air Malta has scored excellent on-time performance figures for August and September with an overall arrival punctuality of 84 per cent.

During these two months Air Malta shared first place with EasyJet (84 per cent) and compared very well with other airlines including Lufthansa (74 per cent), Vueling (73 per cent) and Emirates (72 per cent).

Air Malta Chief Executive Peter Davies said, "We are gaining ground on a number of fronts. We are obviously very pleased with our placing during the peak summer months. Our focus is to work harder to improve the overall quality of service and deliver products that our customers really want. On-time punctuality figures are one of the key performance indicators and we hope to continue improving on the results achieved so far."
