Air Malta was among those who helped in the successful first edition of the Malta Week organised in the European Union’s parliament building in Strasbourg recently. The activity, organised to promote the Maltese islands among the 785 European parliamentarians and their staff, exposed the islands’ offerings in terms of culture, history, culinary, contemporary art and heritage.

Commenting on the activities of Malta Week, Angelo Sciberras, Air Malta’s area manager for Belgium and The Netherlands said, “We presented a taste of Malta to the European Parliament.

Throughout this week we participated with a fine presentation of Maltese art, music, food and drink. An exhibition was mounted in the European Parliament building by the two Maltese contemporary artists, Anton Calleja and Gabriel Caruana who presented their work Caravaggio: Quote... Unquote which connected Maltese contemporary art to the work of Caravaggio.

“The inauguration of this exhibition at the parliament was followed by a reception that celebrated Maltese culinary delights to which MEPs and other officials of the European Parliament were invited.”

MEPs were also invited through a flyer mailed to them to have “another taste of Malta” by visiting the islands using Air Malta services.
