Post subject: Efly stops Catania service
|
 |
|
Island Travel Trader Online has reported that Efly has suspended its Catania flights, just months after the service started.
Island Travel Trader Online said it was informed by the airline's secretary that the flight had been discontinued “for now” and that the last flight had been on Tuesday.
Efly’s website, although still showing a timetable, no longer accepts online bookings nor does it explain the stoppage.
A spokesman at the Department of Civil Aviation, meantime, quashed rumours that efly’s Air Operator Certificate – a mandatory licence – had been withdrawn. He told Island Travel Trader Online that the airline ceased operations for its "own reasons".

Confirmed by the company itself:

The reasons they give for ceasing scheduled operations are interesting. They blame Air Malta for offering "below cost" prices on the same route, coupled with Malta International Airport giving them a hard time.
I thought Air Malta was matching their own prices on the Malta-Sicily route. So if Air Malta was operating below cost, were they too? And if the airport was really making things so tough for them, why not simply relocate to Italy now that they are only going to do charters and wet-leasing?
Pity things didn't work out for them, but it's not like nobody saw it coming ... Now they're trying to blame everyone but themselves. A bit like Drogba taking a dive when he loses the ball and going "Oy ref!" |
