History
Hi Fly Malta started operations in early 2013 with one Airbus A340-600 formerly operated by Virgin Atlantic with one more pre-owned on order. The airline had also applied for an Air Operators Certificate and planned to start scheduled operations to destinations in North America. During 2015, all of the airlines' aircraft had been stored and in May 2015 the A340-600s were sold to Al Naser Airlines, a front company for Mahan Air.
Hi Fly Malta was reactivated that September with the re-registration of one A340-300 from the parent Portuguese company on the Maltese registry and a second A340-300 was added in early 2016 that had previously flown for Sri Lankan Airlines. The aircraft transferred from Hi Fly of Portugal has since been sold by its lessor to Swiss Space Systems and painted in a hybrid livery of both its new owner and Hi Fly.
Destinations
Hi Fly Malta has no scheduled destinations. Its planes operate on a charter and ACMI basis. However, one of the two planes will soon be reconfigured for exclusive use of its owner, Swiss Space Systems. The airline thereby focusses on long-haul and high-density passenger operations and only operates large long-haul aircraft accordingly.
Fleet
As of February 2017, the Hi Fly Malta fleet currently consists of the following aircraft:
