Air Malta Launches First Ever Spa Experience Onboard

Air Malta has yesterday launched – The Sky Spa - the first ever free in-flight spa experience onboard a commercial short-haul flight.

Flights KM 116/7 to/from Gatwick were chosen to introduce the innovative exclusive onboard service of spa treatments which no other airline offers free of charge to passengers travelling in Economy.

This initiative was made possible by teaming up with Myoka Spas, well known in the spa and beauty industry in Malta. It will be available on selected flights.

Two professional therapists welcomed passengers with various beauty product samples and later pampered them with complimentary and luxurious treatments including hand, feet and neck massages whilst listening to relaxing music.

Air Malta’s lucky customers were also presented with a 20€ voucher for use at any Myoka Spa in Malta, making it a truly unforgettable surprise.

The initiative was a huge success and created a lot of interest on Air Malta’s social media especially Facebook facebook.com/AirMalta with hundreds of likes and shares.

This experience is just the beginning and part of a series of similar projects that Air Malta will be launching in the near future aimed at enhancing customers experience and showing that the airline Cares More.

Jamaican Massage Therapists To Be Awarded With ITEC Diplomas Improving Standards In Caribbean Wellness Industry

Ten Jamaican professional massage therapists have completed their Final International Therapy Examination Council (ITEC) Holistic Massage Course in Jamaica on January 14, 2015 at the UWI Western Campus in Montego Bay. They are joined by other therapists from across the Caribbean, Belize, and Dominica, and together they will lead the way in improving standards in the wellness industry and in the wider Caribbean. The ITEC accreditation is recognized internationally and will be a tremendous benefit to the graduates in their careers.

The project was conceptualized by Patricia Berry Greenidge, Principal of PBHC School Inc., Barbados and the Barbados Coalition of Service Industries Inc. and is part of the vision of the CARTFund Health and Wellness Project that seeks to equip countries within CARIFORUM with the competencies and standards to create products of excellence in the wellness sector.

This outstanding programme was made possible by The Caribbean Export Development Agency with funding support from the Caribbean Development Bank under the CARTFUND Facility. The programme officially began in Jamaica, July 2014 and recently ended January 14, 2015. The group will stage its graduation exercises in March 2015.
