There are no direct flights from Malta to any of the four London airports, by any airline, on October 30.
I doubt if there is any other country in Europe where there isn’t a single flight to any of the London airports on a particular day, let alone from a country with such historic links to the UK as Malta.
This says more to me about the practicalities of doing business in Malta than have been highlighted in many of the economic reports published in The Times this year.
