Air Malta pilots industrial action could cost airline as much as E575,000 a day
Further industrial action being contemplated by the Airline Pilots Association (ALPA) could cost the beleaguered airline as must as E575,000 a day in the worst case scenario, an internal risk assessment carried out by the airline reveals. ALPA and Air Malta’s management remain at loggerheads over the negotiation of a new collective agreement, since talks have been delayed as the airline continues to thrash out a takeover agreement with Alitalia that would see the Italian carrier become the Maltese carrier’s strategic partner. In the meantime, the airline’s pilots are turning up the pressure on Air Malta and are threatening to escalate matters from their current ‘dress down’ industrial action. Such escalation, ALPA has warned, could take the forms of delaying flights or suspending services altogether. <br/>
