No major "shake-ups" in the Air Malta management are being envisioned, Tourism Minister Karmenu Vella said this afternoon.

"This will be up to the board to decide but at face value I don't see the need for a shake-up in the top management," he told the press during the first meeting of the airline's new board.

He said the current management was given a specific assignment - to restructure the airline - and this had not yet been concluded.

"The board will analyse the progress and, if anything, there will be a change of tactics rather than policy, direction or posts," he added, when asked whether CEO Peter Davies would be kept on.

Mr Vella also thanked the outgoing board and thanked the new board for accepting to be part of Air Malta. The new board is chaired by businessman Ray Fenech.
