Air Malta / KM Malta Airlines aircraft Fleet

The following table is a complete list of all aircraft purchased by Air Malta since its inception.

The column DOR/DOC refer to Date of Registration and Date of Cancellation.

In 2006 - perhaps in anticipation of the country joining the EU - Air Malta started the process of changing its fleet, moving away from Boeing to an all-Airbus fleet of A.319s and A.320s.

This process had actually started in the 90s, when the company took delivery of two A.320s (9H-ABP and 9H-ABQ) even as the company was ordering additional B.737s.

As with other pages in this web site, I make no claim it is complete, and anyone who can add to this list is welcome to contact me.

        
 


Statement by Air Malta

Air Malta ceased flight operations on March 30th, 2024

We extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated employees for their unwavering commitment and hard work over our 50 year tenure.

We also express our gratitude to all our loyal customers, travel partners, and collaborators for their support throughout the years.

Since the first Boeing 720B touched down on Maltese soil on March 29th, 1974, ahead of our inaugural flight on 1st April 1974, until our final flight on March 30th, 2024, Air Malta had proudly represented Malta on the global stage.

Moving forward, KM Malta Airlines will serve as the new national airline for the Maltese Islands.
