The airline Lauda Europe Ltd. conducted the first commercial scheduled flight on Friday. The Maltese aviation company is the successor to Laudamotion GmbH, which is to be closed, and flew the premiere flight on the Palma de Mallorca-Bournemouth route.

The carrier flies on behalf of the parent company Ryanair. The 9H-LMG was used, which previously flew under the registration OE-LMG at Laudamotion. From September 15, 2020, the Vienna base will gradually be transferred to the Maltese aviation company Lauda Europe Ltd. rearranged. Numerous machines have already been transferred from the Austrian to the Maltese register. After completing this process, the Austrian Laudamotion will be closed. Lauda Europe is the successor.

Transport Malta issued the operating license and the AOC (MT-62) a few days ago. The three-letter code is LDA. The two letter code is LW. The fleet consists of Airbus A320s, which will be taken over from its predecessor Laudamotion GmbH. The company's managing director is the current Laudamotion boss and Ryanair board member David O'Brien, who also acts as accountable manager. The flights are primarily flown on behalf of Ryanair, so their flight numbers are mostly used.
