Air Malta plc is the flag carrier airline of Malta, with headquarters in Luqa and hub at Malta International Airport. It operates services to destinations in Europe, Middle East and North Africa.
Shortly after the Second World War, several small private airlines were formed in Malta. Amongst these were The Malta Instone Airline, BAS (Malta) Ltd, and Malta Airlines. In 1947 the former two companies merged to form Air Malta Ltd in fierce competition with the latter. Eventually in 1951 Malta Airlines absorbed the operations of Air Malta Ltd and continued operating through an agreement with BEA until 1973. The company was taken over by the government and Pakistan International Airlines was selected to help and set up a new carrier, Air Malta Co Ltd. In 2012 Air Malta underwent a re-branding process.
