Malta International Airshow - Official Website
WELFY team has been given clearance to perform at this year's Malta International Airshow. The clearance took a long time in coming due to a new set of yet-unpublished rules that make microlight visits by foreign pilots practically impossible to comply with.  But after a verbal refusal to issue a permit, a formal permit has now been issued which paves the way to host WEFLY in Malta.  This has been generating huge interest from the Malta public and especially from entities that cater for handicapped people due to the unique message WEFLY send to all who will have the opportunity to see them flying at Malta International Airport this year.
