was built for and what flies there now<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cols\">\n<div>\n<p>Every aircraft of Malta&rsquo;s military flies from one place: the Military Zone on Apron 7 of Malta International Airport at Luqa. The Armed Forces of Malta describe the Air Wing as located there, and Wikipedia counts six hangars in its terminal. The island has no other military airfield in use; the wartime RAF fields at &#294;al Far and Ta&rsquo; Qali closed in 1967 and 1968, and no source reached for this dataset shows the AFM flying from either.<\/p>\n<p>Luqa was built in 1940 and was the RAF&rsquo;s main Maltese station through the siege of 1941&ndash;1943 and the Cold War, home to Canberras and Nimrods until the British left: the last RAF flight, by a 120 Squadron Nimrod, departed on the morning of 1 April 1979. The civil airport grew beside it, with terminals opened in 1958 and on 25 March 1992.<\/p>\n<p>The Air Wing itself dates from the early 1970s, when the new state began building a small air element for its army and coast guard. It has flown Bell 47Gs, Cessna O-1 Bird Dogs, Bulldogs, Alouette IIIs from Libya and the Netherlands and, alongside Italian-crewed AB 212s, has taken on search and rescue over a region of 250,000 square kilometres. Today it flies King Air B200s, a BN-2T Islander and AW139 helicopters, with a fourth King Air and fourth AW139 due in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Runway, elevation and coordinate figures here come from the Wikipedia infobox for the airport, not from the Maltese AIP, whose full PDF could not be retrieved; they should be checked against AD 2 LMML before publication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"sat\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Satellite<\/div>\n<h2>Luqa (Malta International Airport) &ndash; AFM Air Wing from above<\/h2>\n<div class=\"satfig\" id=\"satfig\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Enlarge the satellite view\">\n<div class=\"satimg\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Luqa (Malta International Airport) &ndash; AFM Air Wing seen from above\"><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"satzoom\">Click to enlarge<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satcap\"><b>2 runways, the longest 3,544 m.<\/b><span>Imagery: Esri, Maxar, Earthstar Geographics and the GIS user community<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"satlb\" id=\"satlb\"><span class=\"satlbx\">Close<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"satbig\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Luqa (Malta International Airport) &ndash; AFM Air Wing seen from above, enlarged\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=14.42885,35.83919,14.52615,35.87581\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=1600,743\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}#mfam .satbig{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=14.43176,35.83279,14.52324,35.88221\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=2048,1365\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}@media(max-width:820px){#mfam .satimg{background-image:url(\"https:\/\/server.arcgisonline.com\/ArcGIS\/rest\/services\/World_Imagery\/MapServer\/export?bbox=14.45491,35.83919,14.50009,35.87581\\26 bboxSR=4326\\26 imageSR=3857\\26 size=760,760\\26 format=jpg\\26 f=image\")!important}}<\/style>\n<div id=\"sat-data\" data-js=\"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\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(){var el=document.getElementById(\"sat-data\");var js=decodeURIComponent(escape(atob(el.getAttribute(\"data-js\"))));var sc=document.createElement(\"script\");sc.text=js;document.body.appendChild(sc);})();<\/script><section class=\"pqband\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<figure class=\"pq\">\n<blockquote><p>Our direction is towards standardization.

Units formed there included No. 1435 Squadron, raised as a night-fighter unit on 4 December 1941 and made a squadron on 2 August 1942, and No. 683 Squadron, formed on 8 February 1943 from a flight of 69 Squadron to fly photo-reconnaissance Spitfires before it moved to Tunisia that November.<\/p>\n<p>After the war Luqa stayed the RAF&rsquo;s main Maltese station while &#294;al Far and Ta&rsquo; Qali ran down: &#294;al Far&rsquo;s last squadron disbanded on 31 August 1967 and Ta&rsquo; Qali closed as an active RAF base in 1968. Luqa kept maritime patrol and reconnaissance aircraft: No. 13 Squadron&rsquo;s Canberras from 1965 to 1978 and No. 203 Squadron&rsquo;s Nimrods until the squadron disbanded on 31 December 1977.<\/p>\n<p>The British government chose not to renew its lease on Maltese bases, and Wikipedia records the last departure as a 120 Squadron Nimrod on the morning of 1 April 1979. The civil side had grown alongside the RAF for decades &ndash; a passenger terminal opened on 31 March 1958 &ndash; and on 25 March 1992 a new terminal replaced it. The former RAF station is now Malta International Airport, with its long runway 13\/31 of 3,544 metres.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">02<\/span><span>A military zone on a civil airport<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The Air Wing does not have a base in the usual sense. The AFM places it in the Military Zone on Apron 7 of the airport, and its aircraft share runways and air traffic control with the airlines. AFM headquarters is close by at Luqa Barracks, which also houses the AFM Operations Centre and the Rescue Coordination Centre, RCC Malta.<\/p>\n<p>The wing is organised in four parts: Wing Headquarters for command and control, a Headquarters Squadron for logistics and support, an Operations Squadron that flies the aircraft and a Support Squadron that maintains them. The official site lists its work as maritime surveillance, border control, search and rescue on land and sea, law enforcement, medical evacuation, troop transport and reconnaissance, all on a 24\/7 basis.<\/p>\n<p>Its duties grew when the British left. The AFM says it took over search and rescue in 1978, and the Malta Search and Rescue Region it now answers for covers 250,000 square kilometres of sea.

Its early fleet was small and second-hand: three Agusta-Bell 47G-2s that had served with the West German Army and a fourth 47G, an AB 206A, two Breda Nardi NH-500Ms, five Cessna O-1E Bird Dogs and five Bulldog Model 121s. None survives in service. The founding date of 1971 often given for a Helicopter Flight could not be confirmed from an official source reached for this dataset.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbours filled the gaps. Five Alouette III helicopters served the wing, three of them from Libya and two from the Netherlands, according to Wikipedia; the AFM still lists the type on its equipment pages. Italy went further. Under the Italian Military Mission in Malta, Italian crews and AB 212 helicopters flew Maltese search and rescue for more than 40 years. Wikipedia, citing Times of Malta, puts their record at over 15,000 flight hours and over 270 people saved before Italian budget cuts ended the arrangement in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The good part of this was that Malta had rescue helicopters it could not have afforded alone. The weakness was dependence: when Rome withdrew, the AFM had to carry the whole load with its own new helicopters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"ddet\">\n<summary><span class=\"dn\">04<\/span><span>Standardising on the King Air and the AW139<\/span><span class=\"dx\">Read<\/span><\/summary>\n<div class=\"dbody\">\n<p>The Air Wing has since settled on two main types. Janes reports that the AFM received its first AgustaWestland AW139 in June 2014; three were in service when a fourth was ordered from Leonardo, with the AFM calling the purchase part of the &quot;ongoing standardisation of the helicopter fleet&quot;. Five days earlier it had announced a fourth King Air B200 from Aerodata AG to join three already flying maritime patrol. Wikipedia dates those contracts to late 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2026 MaltaToday reported that the new King Air and AW139 were worth &#8364;50 million together and were expected in 2027, and that Air Wing operations had grown by 40% over six years. Brigadier Clinton O&rsquo;Neill, commander of the AFM, described the approach as building on what the service already had. Wikipedia also lists a single IAI Heron UAV; the official site does not name it, and its ownership arrangement was not confirmed for this dataset.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"timeline\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Timeline<\/div>\n<h2>Luqa (Malta International Airport) &ndash; AFM Air Wing, year by year<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tl\">\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1940<\/div>\n<p>Luqa airfield is built; it becomes the RAF&rsquo;s main Maltese station during the siege of 1941&ndash;1943.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1941<\/div>\n<p>A night-fighter unit forms at Luqa on 4 December; it becomes No. 1435 Squadron on 2 August 1942.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1943<\/div>\n<p>No. 683 Squadron forms at Luqa on 8 February to fly photo-reconnaissance Spitfires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1965<\/div>\n<p>No. 13 Squadron RAF brings its Canberras to Luqa; it stays until 1978.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1977<\/div>\n<p>No. 203 Squadron RAF, flying Nimrods, disbands at Luqa on 31 December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1978<\/div>\n<p>The AFM takes over search and rescue responsibility from the departing British forces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1979<\/div>\n<p>The last RAF flight, a 120 Squadron Nimrod, leaves Luqa on the morning of 1 April.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1985<\/div>\n<p>EgyptAir Flight 648 is hijacked to Luqa on 23 November and stormed by Egyptian commandos the next day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">1992<\/div>\n<p>The new terminal of Malta International Airport opens on 25 March.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2011<\/div>\n<p>Two Libyan Mirage F1s and two helicopters land at Malta on 21 February; the jets are returned on 21 February 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2013<\/div>\n<p>The Air Wing receives the Midalja G&#295;al Qadi tar-Repubblika from the President of Malta on 13 December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2014<\/div>\n<p>The first AW139 helicopter is delivered in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2016<\/div>\n<p>The Italian Military Mission ends its search and rescue helicopter support after more than 40 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tl-item\">\n<div class=\"yr\">2026<\/div>\n<p>A &#8364;50 million order for a fourth King Air B200 and a fourth AW139 is reported in April, with delivery due in 2027.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<hr class=\"divider\">\n<section id=\"incidents\">\n<div class=\"wrap\">\n<div class=\"kicker\">Incidents &amp; stories<\/div>\n<h2>What happened here<\/h2>\n<div class=\"inc\">\n<article>\n<div class=\"incd\">23&ndash;24 November 1985<\/div>\n<h3>EgyptAir Flight 648: the Luqa hijack<\/h3>\n<p>An EgyptAir Boeing 737 with 98 people on board was hijacked and forced to land at Luqa. According to Wikipedia&rsquo;s account, Prime Minister Karmenu Mifsud Bonnici led the negotiations and refused to refuel the aircraft or withdraw Maltese troops until passengers were released. Egyptian Unit 777 commandos were then allowed to storm the aircraft. The storming and its aftermath caused most of the deaths.

Wikipedia reports that they had disobeyed orders to bomb protesters in Benghazi. Two helicopters also landed that day. Malta refused to hand the pilots or aircraft back to the Gaddafi government, and Wikipedia says this quickly made the island an &quot;unfriendly neighbour&quot; in Tripoli&rsquo;s eyes.
