After doing a bit of research myself, I concluded that Malta Air uses the same IATA code as Ryanair (FR), however, there are no proper sources that state this fact since they either list the outdated AL code or nothing at all. If possible and/or necessary, please try to find a proper source to list FR as the IATA code for Malta Air. If a citation is not necessary, I can add it myself.

You can check Malta Air's flights on Flightradar24 and it'll come up with the FR codes. Lifetimelucid (talk) 12:56, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When operating flights on behalf of Ryanair, Malta Air uses Ryanair's IATA code, sure. But Malta Air still has its own IATA code that it could (theoretically) use for other flights. Rosbif73 (talk) 13:04, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Can you provide a proper source for this standalone IATA code? Because I cannot find Malta Air anywhere when I search for the IATA codes or the airline name here, the closest I can find is an airline under the name 'Malta Air Travel Ltd dba Malta MedAir' which appears to be Malta MedAir.
If Malta Air flies almost entirely on behalf of Ryanair along with charter flights, then Malta Air probably have very little real need for an IATA code. An ICAO code may well be enough for Malta Air. It is possible that Malta Air decided to just save money that would otherwise be spent on IATA annual fees. We should not be afraid of stating on Wikipedia that Malta Air does not have an IATA code if we cannot find a reliable source to show Malta has a current IATA code.
