A recent incident at KM Malta Airlines has drawn attention after a pilot reportedly delayed a scheduled A320neo flight to wait for a colleague who was on holiday. The situation has raised questions about the influence of personal relationships within the airline industry.
According to sources, the delay occurred when the pilot chose to hold the departure so that another crew member, who was on vacation, could join the flight. This decision appears to reflect the saying, "It's not about what you know, it's about who you know," suggesting that personal connections played a role in operational decisions at the airline.
The event has prompted discussion among staff and passengers regarding standard operating procedures and fairness in scheduling. There is no official statement yet from KM Malta Airlines regarding whether any disciplinary action will be taken or if new policies will be implemented to prevent similar incidents in the future.
