In light of what’s going on with regards to the COVID-19 outbreak, Air Malta has decided to suspend more flights.

 “Following the announcement by the Moroccan government to close its borders from several countries to contain the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Air Malta will be suspending its Malta-Casablanca-Malta flights as from tomorrow 17th March. The airline’s last flight to the country will be operated today until further notice. Today's flight will operate 30 minutes before to avoid airport closure,” the local airline said.

“The airline advises that all passengers who arrive in Malta from any country in the world will have to go into mandatory self-quarantine. This directive is enforceable by law. Failure to observe this can result in fines of €1,000 for every instance of quarantine breach. This measure was taken to contain the spread of the Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic.”
