This does not confirm that normal flights will resume from the 1st of June as the ban may yet again be re-extended depending on the COVID-19 situation in Malta, and abroad.

Earlier this week, Economy Minister Silvio Schembri reportedly said Malta's International Airport will be one of the last places to reopen post-COVID-19.
