This afternoon KM614 Malta to Rome experienced an incident whilst on the ground because of a combination of the extreme temperatures exacerbated by an air-
conditioning fault.
During this event, three passengers onboard the aircraft lost consciousness due to the unprecedented soaring temperatures. These passengers were swiftly attended to by the cabin crew on duty and supporting medical emergency services.
All customers were duly disembarked onto buses back to Malta International Airport terminal and provided refreshments before the provision of onward travel to Rome.
Consequently, Air Malta flight KM614 Malta to Rome and KM615 Rome to Malta are
encountering a delay.
