Air Malta said today that it will move its head office to SkyParks Business Centre at Malta International Airport by the end of summer. It will occupy the new offices for five years until a new head office is built.

"The move forms part of the much wider Cultural Revolution process aimed at creating a new environment and company culture in which employees can work collaboratively and more efficiently to the best of their abilities," the airline said.

“Air Malta’s restructuring is not only being tackled in terms of returning the airline back to profitability but, equally important, is to change its organisational culture. Cultural transformation is a vital part in an organisational restructuring process and the move to SkyParks will facilitate this change and assist the airline in its rebranding and re-positioning process”, said Peter Davies, the airline's CEO said.

The current Air Malta Head office was built by the Royal Air Force as sleeping quarters and has been used as offices by the airline for over 33 years.

Air Malta said the SkyParks Business Centre will offer its employees an open plan environment where they can work in a brand new corporate setting that enhances productivity, teamwork and improve organisational communication.

Air Malta will be occupying one and a half floors of the building for the next five years. The airline has already identified a site where to build its head office for the following years.  

The airline last January announced that it had sold most of its properties, including the land currently occupied by its head office, to the governemnt for €66 million.
