Luqa - Malta

1Near the Terminal

The first place to take a look at the main ramp near the terminals is situated just southeast of the car parks and entrance of the airfield. From here you can see all aircraft parked in front of the main building and you have a good sight on taxiway "charlie" in front of you. The best time to take pictures is in the morning when you have the sun in your back and you will need between 135 and 200mm.

2Runway 31

Here you are near the beginning of runway 31. From here you have a view over the runway and you can take pictures with less than 300mm of aircraft backtracking the runway towards you and turning in front of you prior to depart of runway 31.

3The spotters wall

There is a spotters wall situated on the road near spot 3, opposite the civil terminal. From here you'll have a clear view on the runway and on the main platforms. This is one of the best places to take pictures from with 200mm or less.

4Runway 05

This is where runway 05 starts. Despite the good view this spot is not the best since runway 05 is not in use very often.

5Ramp 2

Spot 6 is situated near ramp 2 where smaller visiting airplanes are parked. Also you have a view on runway 13/31 but airplanes are a bit high here since the runway is a bit far away

6Luqa

At spot 7, near the town of Luqa, you are able to take a look at the Malta Air Squadron ramp (ramp 7). Also you can see aircraft arrive and depart from runway 13/31. Nearest to you is ramp 1 where general aviation aircraft are parked.
