The Malta Airshow

 

The fascination with aircraft of all types is a growing phenomenon all over the world, with air shows becoming standard annual events on the calendar. Malta’s International Air Show has not only established itself as one of the most followed in the region, but it has also become a major tourist attraction on an island that can provide some spectacular settings for both the participants and the spectators. There is also huge local interest in the event.

The 2008 Malta International Air Show is scheduled to be held on September 27 and 28, ample time for you to book your Malta holiday in time for the show if you fancy a close-up look at some stunning aircraft. Malta has a rich air traffic history as well as many tangible remains of a past filled with wartime air battles and RAF connections best seen and appreciated in the relevant museums on the Island.

The Malta Air Show has grown fast from the first tentative years of the late 80s. An ever-increasing number of participants provide a wide selection of models, services and feats. The Malta International Air Show always strives to offer the best possible all-round service to the tens of thousands who visit the air show each year.

To ensure that you enjoy your visit to next year's air show, the organisers’ website provides the relevant information which is of benefit to all visitors both before the event as well as during the actual air show. You will find information about the facilities provided for the general public as well as those with special needs.

In addition there are the various trade stands which will be selling items of interest not only to the aviation minded visitors but also for the kids. You will also find information about how to get to the air show both using your own car as well as using public transport or organised trips. Time flies, if you don’t mind the pun…..
   
We thoroughly recommend you take in this particular event if you have the time. The static display on the ground is extremely interesting while the overhead show is often stunning. For more information on this annual event visit the organiser’s website at www.maltairshow.com
