The story
Efly was a low-cost carrier established by Luigi Crisipino and fellow business partners, to provide luxurious, low cost flights with service to several destinations throughout Europe, beginning with London's Gatwick Airport.
The airline leased four aircraft, but only one aircraft was delivered to the airline, in Malta. The airline failed to obtain its license to operate as a commercial airline, but it could fly its sole aircraft. In September 2009, weeks after Luigi Crisipino's resignation, the airline began operations operating an inaugural flight of 56 passengers.
On November 5, 2009, the airline ceased operation due to tough competition on its Malta-Catania route, and struggles with entry permits and vehicle ramp access at Malta International Airport.
