Hi Fly Malta
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. The airline had also applied for an Air Operators Certificate and planned to start scheduled operations to destinations in North America. During 2015, all of the airlines' aircraft had been stored and in May 2015 the A340-600s
were sold to Al Naser Airlines, a front company for Mahan Air. 
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. Several former Emirates A340-300 frames were added in 2017.
In the summer of 2018, Hi Fly became the first airline to order secondhand Airbus A380 aircraft, placing an order for two aircraft.
