Partit Nazzjonalista Calls for Clarity on KM Malta Airlines Privatisation

The Partit Nazzjonalista is urging the Maltese government to provide transparency and a detailed plan regarding the future of KM Malta Airlines, following a recent announcement about transferring a third of the airline to the private sector. The opposition party insists that the public should be fully informed about the process and timeline of the privatisation, stressing that communication so far has been insufficient.

The PN believes that a transparent and inclusive approach is necessary, involving both the public and airline employees in discussions about the privatisation. They argue that the privatisation of a national airline has significant implications for the economy and employment, and that the national interest must be safeguarded.

The party is calling on the government to outline a clear plan for the privatisation process, a timeline for selecting private investors, and the steps to ensure the long-term sustainability of KM Malta Airlines. Additionally, the PN highlights the importance of protecting jobs and ensuring that the workforce’s future is secure.

While the PN acknowledges that privatisation could benefit the Maltese economy, they stress that this can only happen if the process is conducted with full transparency and accountability, ensuring public confidence.
