Towards Greener Aviation

Although Malta is not the first country that comes to mind when speaking of business aviation in Europe, in the latest statistics published by the EBAA, Malta was the only airport in Europe which registered a growth in business aviation activity. Whilst granted the activity in Malta is still miniscule when compared to other European airports, one has to admit that a growth is a growth and in the current economic climate this is no mean feat. This is no accident, the Maltese government by a number of economic measures has managed to create an environment whereby high net worth individuals and industries have set base in Malta, increasing the country’s economic growth and as a direct result the number of movements of business jets to the island. Although a Malta is a small economy, it has so far not experienced the economic downturn in the same way as mainland Europe. DC Aviation had seen potential in Malta back in 2007 and in 2008 had established an office in Malta offering business jet handling and serving also as a regional sales office for its fleet of in excess of 35 business jets. DC Aviation’s faith has been rewarded as when the world started experiencing the economic downturn in Malta in October 2008 we handled the most business jets ever on the island. DC Aviation wants to actively contribute to the local community in Malt and as such last Sunday, 8th March 2009, officially launced in Malta an innovative campaign together with the Birkirkara Local Council on the official visit of His Excellency the President of Malta Dr. Edward Fenech Adami. An initiative which should improve the local environment and lead by example by contributing positively to the evironment. DC Aviation donated a number of trees, which were planted by His Excellency The President of Malta and the Managing Director of DC Aviation Ltd. Stanley Bugeja, at the Garden Beatu Nazju Falzon. ‘Towards Greener Aviation’ is the name of chosen by DC Aviation whereby a tree would be planted in the local council of Birkirkara for every business jet we handle in Malta.
