The Tourism Ministry has denied reports that Air Malta would be sold to Air China.
In a statement, the ministry said a front-page article that appeared in il-Mument, suggesting there were ongoing talks about a sale to the Chinese State-run airline, was “false” and “an invention from start to finish”.
The Nationalist Party weekly reported that Air Malta was a factor in political talks taking place with the Chinese government with the Maltese side considering various options, including outright sale.
