Registered in Malta

SkyAlps’ Bombardier Q400 aircraft are registered in Malta. They are flown by Malta-based Luxwing. SkyAlps’ current fleet consists of second-hand aircraft from Austrian Airlines and Flybe (bankrupt), among others. The new 5 Bombardier Q400 aircraft will be acquired from LGW. These aircraft have been idle for some time.

SkyAlps will fly three times a week between Bolzano and Dusseldorf. A number of winter sports destinations will be added next winter. Among them, flights to Antwerp are on the schedule.
