England and Manchester United star Gary Neville was the star attraction of the Manchester Holiday and Travel Show at the GMEX Centre in Manchester. He was invited by Air Malta to visit its stand at the fair held earlier this month.

Neville visited the Air Malta and Malta Tourism Authority stand to promote his love of Malta, which he calls his second home. As well as signing autographs for fans, he also chatted to visitors about his passion for the islands.

Gary Neville has a long- standing relationship with Malta, having visited with his family since childhood. He now owns property on the islands and is a regular tutor at the Manchester United Supporters Club Summer Soccer Schools, which are sponsored by Air Malta.

Leslie Muscat, Air Malta Country Manager for the UK commented “Gary is a regular passenger on Air Malta flights from Manchester and a great ambassador for the country. His presence at the GMEX Holiday Show and ongoing support is a great boost for the destination.”

Air Malta flies daily from Malta to Manchester, with one-way fares from just e77 including taxes and charges. More information is available at www.airmalta.com or by calling tel. 2166-2211.
