Air Malta has launched the first-ever special in-flight entertainment designed specifically for young children.

Skykids was launched on the June 29 flight to Paris on which a group of around 60 children were booked.

Air Malta teamed up with Nestlé (Malta) and Malta International Airport to offer children an unforgettable flight experience. Two professional child-minders from Yoyo Kids Childcare welcomed the young travellers at the departure gate with gifts.

Girls had also the opportunity to have their hair braided prior to the early morning flight while the boys joined in games run by the Sky Kids’ Crew.

The free service continued on-board with various fun activities including an art competition for all the children to design a Sky Kids logo. Air Malta will be choosing one of these logos to promote this activity for future flights.

Other skill games and one-to-one activities aimed at keeping Air Malta’s young flyers busy during the flight to/from Paris were coordinated by the specially-trained Sky Kids’ Crew with the support of the airline’s cabin crew.

Joe Galea, Air Malta’s Deputy Chief Commercial Officer said, “We intend to organise similar flights when we see that there are a good number of children booked.”

This service follows Sky Spa, which earned the airline world-wide recognition in offering unique complimentary experiences even to economy passengers.
