Flight KM642 – 27 December will be departing at 4.30pm instead of 6.30pm and the return flight KM643 will depart at 6.15pm instead of 8.05pm.

This retiming is due to airport restrictions at Catania following the eruption of Mount Etna. Air Malta would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused to its clients as a result of circumstances beyond its control.
