Sephora Marie Mifsud, wearing Air Malta’s first uniform, welcomed passengers on board KM102 to London Heathrow on April 17 – the first commercial flight operated with 9H-AEI, after the aircraft was freshly repainted with the airline’s original 1970s livery. On arriving in Malta, the aircraft performed two low fly-pasts on runway 31 and flew over the Grand Harbour, Sliema, the northern coastline of Malta, Mosta, Qrendi and Birżebbuġa. Its arrival kicked off Air Malta’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
