Efly ha iniziato le operazioni sulla rotta Malta-Catania


Efly, a Malta-based private airline operating a BAe 146-300 aircraft, launched its commercial operations today, with the first flight taking 56 passengers to Catania.
"The Maltese travelling public now has a much wider choice. The owners want this new Maltese carrier to distinguish itself for the level of service offered to the customer, at prices, which are lower than those prevailing today in a monopolistic market," the airline said. Efly is the brainchild of Italian businessman Luigi Crispino. Manager Frans Camilleri said the response to the Catania route was overwhelming and the airline planned to operate more routes. He said the airline would shortly also launch a recruitment campaign.

Efly officially launched its commercial operations yesterday from Malta International Airport. The first flight, with 56 passengers on board the BAe 146-300 registered 9H-ELE aircraft, left punctually at 6:50am for Catania. With Efly coming on the market, the Maltese travelling public now has a much wider choice. The owners want this new Maltese carrier to make a name for itself by the level of service offered to the customer, with prices that are lower than those prevailing today. Efly European Airline was the brainchild of Luigi Crispino, a well-known businessman in Italy. When asked to comment, Mr Crispino declared that the local aviation scene has undergone an irreversible and dramatic change. He reiterated that things would be much different as from today and the free market will reign supreme. Frans Camilleri, who was appointed manager responsible since its inception, said that setting up an airline is a laborious and difficult process. However, he was extremely pleased to have successfully concluded this initial phase.

Da questo si desume che hanno venduto biglietti prima di essere in possesso di AOC e licenza!

Quanto durera? Avranno intenzione di applicare le AD sui loro BAE o faranno come fecero con i B737 in Air Sicilia?
 
ma cosa c'è di sicuro sulle relazioni Crispino-Soddu??

e cmq, Crispino è un bel po che corre dietro al suo sogno di compagnia aerea...

Alla fine del 2006 girava petr gli uffici di Clubair (quella vera, di Tercatin) per cercare di comprare....

La domanda sopra mi nasce dal fatto che ... se Crispino è amico di Soddu, se Soddu è in attivita con Myair dal 2004... perche dal 2004 al 2009 non si è fatta l'alleanza?? Mi sfugge..

se è per questo aveva iniziato a provarci ai tempi di TEA/TAS
