Within a radius of 2000 miles of Malta, all of Europe, most of North Africa, most of Scadinavia and parts of European Russia is within reach. That is a huge area.

Yes, centrally located. No truck connections, but maybe works as an air hub.

There are fewer of them, getting old in the tooth. A321 more modern, can carry more palletized cargo. So seen as eventual replacement, but maybe sooner rather than later if trends continue.

Maybe something about it's central location. I'll get some more answers on that in a bit. Stay tuned.
