After a very cordial meeting with MIA, it has been established that Park 4 will not be available for aircraft parking anymore due to the imminent start of construction works in connection with the new SR hanger.  While the final plans are still being drawn, the airshow this year will be held on Parks 2 & 3. While it is sad to have to leave Park 4 for good for airshow purposes, it is heartening to observe the huge steps in aviation-related matters in the country.

The Patrouille de France will grace Malta's skies during the Malta Int'l Airshow.  The team's participation has recently been officially confirmed.  The aerobatic team's last visit to Malta was in the very first Malta airshow in 1993, held over Marsamxett harbour.

After last year's absence of the Royal Air Force in the flying display, the crowds will certainly welcome back the RAF with cofirmed participation of a Hawk and a Tucano, both in special colours and markings.

The Royal Netherlands Air Force has confirmed confirmation of the F16 in the flying display.  The jet, crowed-stealer of last year's show, will be  very much welcomed on its return to Malta.

The United States Air Force has confirmed confirmation in the static display of a KC135 and a C21 so far.  Efforts are ongoing to increase US and other countries' participation.
