How best to enjoy the Malta airshow

Breitling_Team_s.jpgSpend an enjoyable day with family and friends by visiting this year's Malta International Airshow 2009. Interesting aircraft and helicopters await you on the static display at Luqa in the morning featuring various types of aircraft. Around lunch time make your way to the food stall in the area and get ready for a spectacular aerial display held over the airfield, with the Breitling Jet Team bringing the show to a close. 

At the static show expect to find a good variety of aircraft from tiny ultra-light aircraft to the giant KC-10, this time coming from the Royal Netherlands Air Force.  Close by you'll see a United States Air Force KC135, both aircraft having the common main mission of refuelling other aircraft in flight.  There you'll find the pilots and aircrew proudly standing by their jets ready to answer most questions and perhaps even giving you a tour around their planes, subject to permission.

With the airshow being held at an international airport, visitors are reminded to stay within the public area and random checks by security personnel will be carried out to ensure safety and security during the event.

Enjoy the show !

Airshow 2010 dates:  September 25 - 26

September 28, 2009.

The 17th edition of the Malta Int'l Airshow has been a great success and the public enjoyed the show in glorious, hot weather. The Malta Aviation Society and Malta International Airport plc thank the general public that attented and also helped in the safe running of the show.

September 24, 2009

Final preparations are now underway and all is prepared to welcome participants flying in from across Europe.  The first arrival is due around 10 in the morning, with the last known aircraft to arrive at around 7 in the evening.  The airshow press conference was held early afternoon with the participation of Mr Julian Jaeger, CEO of MIA plc and Mr Joe Ciliberti, president of the Malta Aviation Society.

 

September 17, 2009

A very sad day where it must be communicated that the Libyan AF will not make it to the Malta Int'l Airshow 2009. After  long and intense efforts where participation was approved by both the air force and the ministry of defence in Libya, higher authorities have now declined our invitation. The situation developed last night and fresh efforts were made to salvage the situation but to no avail.

In the meantime, preparations for this year's airshow continue in earnest and there is still a possibility of increased participation by other countries, but this will feature in the participants' list if and when confirmations come in.

September 12th, 2009

The list of participating aircraft is now complete, with the last addition coming from the RAF. MAS held the annual BBQ where a number of members walked away with gifts, vouchers etc. 

The new layout in the vicinity of Park 4 at Malta Int'l Airport will see some drastic changes with parking areas etc and the public is encouraged to use the public transport as much as possible. A dedicated bus from Valletta Terminus will run a frequent schedule straight to the airshow gate.

September 4th, 2009

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed Sept 3rd between the Malta Aviation Society and Malta International Airport.  This officially makes MAS and MIA as joint organisers of the airshow for 2009.
Efforts continue in order to ensure participation of the Libyan Arab Air Force at Malta's airshow.  News came in today reaffirming its participation and the imminent confirmation by the Libyan Ministry of Defence.

August 13, 2009

The Breitling Jet Team flying a formation of L-39s will be the main attraction at this year's aerial display.  Addtionally, the Pioneer Italia team will also feature in this year's flying display programme.  Car-parking arrangements are in a very advanced stage now and patrons will notice quite a few changes.  MAS thanks MIA for facilitating matters to make a day at the airshow as enjoyable as possible.

August 6th, 2009

Another formal meeting between Malta International Airport plc (MIA) and the Malta Aviation Society (MAS) took place on August 4th where it was agreed to hold the Malta International Airshow completely at the airport, including the air display itself.  A Memorandum of Understanding will be signed in the next few days that will see MIA and MAS as joint organisers of the Malta International Airshow.

July 29th, 2009

Contacts with the Libyan AF continue and the indications now show the possibility of a Su 24 for the static display. In the meantime, discussions are underway to further strengthen ties between Malta International Airport plc and the Malta Aviation Society, of which more in the coming days.

The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment's Parachute Team 'The Tigers' will jump at this year's airshow for the very first time in Malta.  The team consists of 5 jumpers and one director on the ground. Subject to funds becoming available, discussions are taking place to have a formal 7-ship display team performing in Malta's skies.

 

June 1st, 2009

Preparations are well underway while the financial aspects continues to seriously worry the organising team.  Greece seems to be participating with a T6 while serious talks are underway with the Libyan AF since this is the first time that ramadan will end before the airshow weekend - the first time since the birth of  the Malta Int'l Airshow in 1993.

March 1st, 2009

A Maltese delegation attended the European Airshow Council's 2009 convention in Hasselt, Belgium.  Various new contacts were established as the convention attracts many government agencies, organisers and performers, amongst others.

November 1st, 2008

Invitations for 2009 have been sent to over 40 nations from around the globe.
The annual airshow at Southport, in the UK, will take place on the same weekend as Malta's, and most of the RAF's display assets are expected to be there.  Southport makes the best use of tide conditions and in 2009 the most ideal tide conditions happen to occur Sept 26-27. 

October 1st, 2008

Preparations are in hand to organise the Malta International Airshow 2009 on September 26th and 27th.
