After a few years of absence due to legal issues and COVID, the Malta Air Show was back this year. The island’s entry restrictions were somewhat stricter than those of the rest of the EU, causing hiccups and long queues after arrival. Tickets could only be bought in advance and the public was guided along the static line-up at Luqa in groups of about fifty people.
The afternoon air show programme was flown over St Paul’s Bay, however, staying at Luqa to watch take-offs and landings proved rewarding too, although different runways were used.
