Isn't AMC meaning AMC Airlines, the Egyptian company? Seems more logical in OST, IMO

AMC is the ICAO code for Air Malta.
In case your are not sure wich code belongs to wich airline have a look at the following site: http://www.airlinecodes.co.uk/
Most of the airlines and codes are listed there.

Probably a fuel stop due to the strike in the UK. I guess they refuel in Ostend instead of Heatrow on the LHR-Malta leg.

Indeed.

They are flying Matla - UK - Ostend without refuelling and then refuel at Ostend to make the trip back to Malta.
This evening a second Air Malta flight is planned at EBOS.

It's British Mediterranean Airways :rotate:

That's a nice movement for the regspotters among us, the A320's from British Mediterranian Airways are normally not visiting Belgium.

Saterday will probably also a busy day due to divertions from London.
Benghazi is only a fuel stop for flights from Central Africa on their way to Ostend.
