Outside aviation circles, little is known about the fact that, as early as 1947, until 1951, an airline by the name of Air Malta, was flying scheduled services to Italy France, Tunis, Libya, Egypt and the UK.
It operated a mixed bag of nine Airspeed Consuls, two De Havilland Dove, one each Bristol 170 Freighter and DC-4, as well as three DC-3s.
The other aircraft are outside the scope and purpose of this page, but the table below gives details of the DC-3s used.
