Thats a very good point Nobby D, September is going to be rather unusal then any other september weather in the past, i hope the Hoteliers are giving away free umbrellas for the guests, they will sure need it as it will be pissing down sorry be raining cats and dogs like nobody's business and its good for us as we need the rain, and at the same time clean all the street of the summer dust, specially for the people that suffer with asthma and hayfever. So let it rain buddy, i'll make sure to stay indoors for the duration and as for the thunder storms hope we do not have any blackouts as we had last month's torrential rain that unfortunitly killed one person and damaged alot of property, are the hotels equipped if we are unlucky enough to have a repetetive thunderstoms. hope so for the tourist's sake.

M. Cachia - you speak as though Ryanair is in some form of advantaged position over Air Malta because 'Ryanair is subsidized via the state and Air Malta is not' or so your argument goes. I am certain that if Air Malta wanted to operate Ryanair's routes, it too would receive the subsidies. No? There is no such thing as a low cost carrier. All airlines are airlines and are treated the same. If there are incentives for any airline to service particular routes and develop new routes, and Ryanair took up the incentive and Air Malta did not, then good luck to Ryanair. If there is any airline which is advantaged, it is Air Malta, because our government doesn't want it to fail, and we cannot afford to let it fail, because if we want to move forward as a country, we must have good routes and be well connected to major destinations. So Both Air Malta and other 'low cost' carriers have very important roles for this country.

Agree 100%.Every Ryanair flight is fully booked. The more routes the more tourists that visit Malta. There are still a lot of European destinations that do not have direct flights to Malta. These should be given to the mentioned airline.

you are right Mr Mallia

73.5% in 3 Stars (local 3 Stars) cries for more RyanAir. Otherwise, the input for more RyanAir destinations is not really wrong, else, more destinations would mean, more money from the taxpayers feed to RyanAir.

Otherwise I agree AirMalta is too expensive.

And please, see this note with a laughing eye. I don´t like to discredit anybody, wherever he´s from.

When I read such comments I convince myself further how short sighted are most people.

It is the Maltese Gov through the Maltese Tax Payer who is subsidising every singly passenger that Ryanair or for all it matters, any other LCC brings into Malta.

In case of Air Malta a total different story altogether! Notwithstanding it carrying more than 55% of all incoming traffic. The difference is that KM does all this under its own steam!
