Air Malta notes the contentof the article ‘Management overruled by board over Frankfurt’ (December 13) which againis totally unfounded and fullof inaccuracies.
It is the management of the airline, principally the Commercial Division, that proposes the network and schedule that Air Malta will operate.
These decisions are taken on purely commercial terms, although consideration is also given to the needs of the local tourism industry.
The airline board’s role is to then approve the network plan. The management had proposed to stop the Frankfurt route during the presentation made to the board on October 6, 2016. Management’s proposal was then endorsed by the board.
