On July 10, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure, and Public Works of Malta, Chris Bonett, visited the SmartLynx Airlines office in Santa Venera. The visit commemorated the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the SmartLynx Malta office and included discussions on current aviation topics and the airline's further development plans in Malta.
Edvinas Demenius, CEO at SmartLynx Airlines commented: "Most of our fleet is registered in Malta, and there is a reason for that. Over the past five years, Malta has taken decisive actions to establish itself as a regional aviation hub. Within five years, we see significant improvements in governmental policies and industry regulations being made, fostering an environment where aviation businesses can thrive, creating more jobs and generating income for the government and benefiting local communities."
Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Public Works of Malta, Chris Bonett stated: "A lot has been done to establish an environment where the airlines feel comfortable and are able to grow. However, we recognize there is still room for improvement. The successful expansion of SmartLynx operations in Malta over the past five years proves that we're on the right path, and we are determined to continue this course in close cooperation with the industry."
Malta's office is a key location for SmartLynx Administrative, Operational, and Maintenance Control Centre (MCC) specialists. Working in close coordination with offices in the Baltics and bases worldwide, the Malta team provides around-the-clock support for the SmartLynx fleet. They work tirelessly to resolve ad-hoc issues as quickly as possible, ensuring that all 70 aircraft are operational and ready to fly.
Currently, nearly 60 people work at the SmartLynx Malta office, with the team expected to grow as the demand for highly experienced aviation specialists continues. In the coming years, the airline plans to expand its fleet registered under the Maltese AOC and attract more aviation talent, strengthening its presence in this regional aviation hub.
