Air Malta and the RAF Red Arrows thrilled crowds last Sunday at this year's Malta International Airshow with a formation flypast.

The flypast was organised to commemorate the airline's 40th anniversary since its first flight, the end of the Arrow's 50th display season and the last flight of Red 1, the Red Arrows squadron leader.

This flypast was a fitting end to this year's Malta International Airshow which was the biggest so far with three acrobatic display teams and tens of different aircraft types.

Commenting on this event, Air Malta's Chairperson Maria Micallef said, "We at Air Malta are very proud to have organised this event as a fitting tribute to form part of our 40th anniversary celebrations. This was a very prestigious honour for us".

The aircraft was piloted by Captain Martin Ferrando, who was the Commander of the flight, together with Captain Patrick Calleja and Safety Pilot, Captain Alan Farrugia.
