Transport Minister Clyde Caruana has expressed concerns over the demands made by the Malta Airline Pilots’ Association (MALPA), describing them as “greed” and “bullying”. Caruana’s comments come in response to the union’s push for improved working conditions and benefits for pilots.
The minister’s remarks suggest a strained relationship between the government and the pilot union, with Caruana accusing MALPA of taking an inflexible stance. The dispute highlights the challenges facing the aviation industry in Malta, where labor disputes can have significant implications for the country’s transportation infrastructure.
