Hi Fly Malta is a Maltese charter airline based at Malta International Airport and a subsidiary of the Portuguese Hi Fly.

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.^[1] The airline had also applied for an Air Operators Certificate^[2] and planned to start scheduled operations to destinations in North America.^[3] During 2015, all of the airlines' aircraft had been stored ^[4] and in May 2015 the A340-600s were sold to Al Naser Airlines, a front company for Mahan Air.^[5]

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.^[4][6] Several former Emirates A340-300 frames were added in 2017.
