The carrier re-brands the aircraft to promote Valletta’s bid to become European Capital of Culture 2018
The aircraft was presented to the media during an event hosted by the airline and the Valletta 2018 Foundation, who are championing the bid.
Before landing in Malta, the aircraft with registration 9H-AEO and commemorative flight number KM2018, performed a fly-past over the Luqa airfield and received a water cannon salute upon landing.
Branded with the words ‘Valletta European Capital of Culture 2018’, the new livery portrays Valletta’s magnificent skyline and features Baroque designs. This is the first time Air Malta has conducted a livery change of this nature and marks the airline’s support of Valletta’s bid to become the European Capital of Culture 2018.
Started in 1985, the European Capital of Culture (ECoC) initiative highlights the richness and diversity of European cultures; celebrate the cultural ties that link Europeans together and promotes mutual understanding to foster a feeling of European citizenship.
