    So far this has been my trademark whether in my  profession or in my personal relationships and politically .

The fact that in a few months time Air Malta is expected to announce disappointing results, makes it that much more urgent to discuss the future of Air Malta.
    Despite years [...]

  • Missed opportunities

    Posted on December 30th, 2009 Charles Mangion No comments

    The past year has been one of missed opportunities. Admittedly in 2009 we like the rest of the world faced serious challenges as a result of the global recession the intensity of which was unprecedented in the last seventy years.

    The management of [...]

  • A future-oriented political agenda

    Posted on December 20th, 2009 Charles Mangion No comments
