An option HUY shouldn't ignore for future growth - though probably not the easiest market to make work, at least for a full season. Indeed I'm a bit surprised to see increases in the number of UK-Malta charters considering Ryanair's large presence on the island

Air Malta to Operate Charter Flights to Seven UK Regional Airports
This summer Air Malta will again operate weekly charter flights to/from
seven regional airports in the UK between May and October 2013. In line
with demand and operations in previous years, Air Malta will operate
charter flights to/from Birmingham and Cardiff with two flights every week
on Tuesdays and Fridays, and weekly flights on Tuesdays to/from Bristol,
Exeter, Newcastle, Norwich and Glasgow airports.
These charter flights increase accessibility to the islands from regional UK
airports and thus offer travellers the opportunity to travel out and back
from their nearest home airport. Furthermore, such flights also attract the
interest of the Maltese traveller to visit family and friends in various cities
in the United Kingdom. The operation of such regional services was made
possible thanks to the support received from tour operators and travel
trade partners in the areas.
Commenting on these services, Philip Saunders, Chief Commercial
Officer said, “Air Malta is building on its position in the UK as a leader in
the market to Malta. Our summer charter operations further confirms the
airline’s commitment to boost incoming tourism to Malta from the UK, and
to bring Malta closer to their home. These flights also make it much easier
for the Maltese market to visit the British regions.”
Air Malta operates such charter services as a supplement to the regular
scheduled services to/from Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester, and
likewise offers 20Kgs for checked in baggage and up to 10Kgs as hand
luggage allowance for each passenger. Seats are available also for sale
via the airline’s portal www.airmalta.com and via the international Call-
Centre on 00356 21 66 22 11.
