KM Malta Airlines proudly announces the launch of its brand-new inflight magazine, Passaġġi, a title that conveys both journey and exploration, translating from Maltese as “passages”. Designed to engage and inspire, Passaġġi is a fresh addition to the airline’s onboard experience for passengers as they discover the captivating stories and destinations unique to the Maltese Islands and beyond ✈️ “We are thrilled to present Passaġġi as an invitation to discover Malta’s vibrant culture and heritage, as well as the exciting destinations within reach of our islands,” said David Curmi, Executive Chairman at KM Malta Airlines. “This is an inflight magazine that feels more like a keepsake—one that passengers can enjoy onboard and even take home as a reminder of their journey with us.” "We are honoured to partner with the National Airline to bring this publication to life, capturing the spirit and stories of Malta. With a focus on authenticity and storytelling, this magazine is designed to connect with passengers by showcasing the rich culture, heritage, and modern vibrancy of Malta. We’re proud to create a meaningful in-flight experience that deepens travellers’ connection to this unique island and enhances their journey." - Bertrand Attard Executive Director at TBWA\ANG, the magazine's publisher.

This October, our team participated in a “Healthy Minds” talk with Richmond Foundation - Malta, focusing on mental wellbeing with the aim to empower and support our personal and collective mental health. This initiative provided our staff with valuable insights for both their personal benefit, and to help foster a supportive workplace culture 🧠 In aid of Hospice Malta, we also shared #PinkOctober and #Movember treats and encouraged team members to wear Pink October pins throughout the month. Together, we’re not only raising awareness but also honouring the importance of health, compassion, and solidarity 💙

One day before the trade show #MROEurope opens its doors in #Barcelona, we already have good news to announce: We are partnering with KM Malta Airlines for CFM LEAP services. With the newly founded national airline of the Maltese Islands, we welcome another customer for LEAP-1A services. Over the next 9.5 years, Lufthansa Technik will perform the repair and overhaul of this engine type operated by the Maltese airline on its Airbus A320neo fleet. Our teams are currently undertaking two quick turns for KM Malta Airlines. Since the LEAP-1A engines are still at the beginning of their life cycle and most do not yet require an overhaul, so-called quick turns are performed. These shop visits address specific technical reasons for early removals, for example by changing the stage 1 blades or shrouds of the high-pressure turbine. This allows the engine to be returned to the aircraft quickly, thereby maintaining its operation until the scheduled overhaul. “We are excited to enter into this long-term partnership with Lufthansa Technik, a trusted name in aviation maintenance,” said Zeljko Pejovic, Director of Technical Operations at KM Malta Airlines. “Their expertise with LEAP-1A engines ensures not only the safety and reliability of our fleet but also supports our commitment to operational excellence. Together, we look forward to building a strong and lasting relationship that will help us maintain the highest standards of safety for our passengers.” Kai Roepke, our Senior Vice President Corporate Sales Europe, Middle East, and Africa, stated: “Thanks to KM Malta Airlines for choosing us as their trusted partner for LEAP-1A engine repairs and overhauls. As the first MRO provider worldwide, we not only hold the CFM Branded Service Agreement for both the LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B engines, but we have also built extensive experience with these engines over the past years, from which KM Malta Airlines will benefit.” Lufthansa Technik has already completed more than 60 LEAP-1A and LEAP-1B events, including the world’s first Performance Restoration of a LEAP-1A engine. #LufthansaTechnik #keepyouflying #MROexperts
