Process to Investigate Alleged Injustices with Air Malta Employees (2007-2014)

The Ministry for Tourism notifies that it will be re-launching a process by which to investigate alleged cases of injustices (grievances) with Air Malta employees, both past and present.

This process can only deal with cases of alleged work-related injustices at Air Malta that have never been submitted before the Grievances or Review Boards, and for which there has not been a decision by past Boards. Cases already decided, will not be re-examined.

Cases which have already been decided by a Tribunal Court and/or the Ombudsman will not be considered unless it is established that such a decision has not been executed by the company as decided.

In any event, cases made must relate to an alleged injustice which has taken place solely between 2007 and 2014. Cases that occurred before or after this period, will not be considered.

Cases deemed eligible, will be assessed by a Grievances Board, independent of the Company and appointed by the Ministry.

Each request shall be made in writing and with a clear and detailed explanation of the alleged injustice. The request can be enhanced by further supporting documentation and evidence. In its request, the applicant shall clearly provide his or her personal details (full name, residential address, contact number, email address and staff number). Each application must be signed by the applicant.

An application under this process automatically authorizes the Grievances Board to access any information or documentation which in its opinion is intrinsically related to the case presented before it and which could guide them towards a just decision. The Board may also request further information from the individual, and/or ask him/her to appear before it.

Requests have started to be received from Monday, 13th May, 2019 to Monday, 10th June, 2019. Requests received after will not be considered.

Requests should be addressed to the Chairman, Board of Injustices (Air Malta) and sent to the Ministry for Tourism, 233, Triq ir-Repubblika, Valletta VLT 1116. It is recommended that requests are submitted via registered post, brought by hand or sent to (grievance-airmalta.mot@gov.mt).

Cases made via telephone will not be accepted or considered for review.

Applicants will receive a receipt and a case number.

This call for claims about alleged injustices within Air Malta (for this period) shall be deemed as final. Decisions given through this process must also be regarded as final.

Further information may be obtained by telephone on 2291 5054 or by sending an email to (grievance-airmalta.mot@gov.mt).
