Air Malta appoints acting CEO
Air Malta has appointed Joseph Galea as new acting CEO as the two-year term of the present CEO Philip Micallef comes to an end.
Galea has over 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, the last two years of which he has been deputy chief commercial officer with Air Malta.
Philip Micallef said: "My two year term at Air Malta has been very challenging and interesting.
"Thanks to the commitment and hard work of my management colleagues and all the staff we have managed to exit the EU Restructuring Plan and the airline is finally back on the road to profitability.
"The company is now entering a new and exciting phase of growth and moving closer towards the conclusion of the talks with the strategic partner.
"I have worked very closely with Joseph for the last two years and the company is in the hands of a person who knows the market and its players extremely well."
