Established in March 1973, Air Malta chartered British European to operate its flights. In April 1974, the airline began doing the flying (with the help of Pakistan International Airlines) using two wet leased Boeing 720s. In 1978 / 79, the airline purchased the Pakistani aircraft and bought three more Boeing 720s from Western Airlines. Pictured is former N93144 delivered in March 1979.
