Although the aviation industry in Malta developed over thirty
years ago, the Maltese jurisdiction, through a joint effort from
the Government and the Transport Malta Civil Aviation Directorate
(CAD), has placed itself on the map with aviation industry players
for a vast array of reasons.
Malta's growth within the aviation industry has been
exponential with concerted efforts from 2010 onwards yielding
extremely positive results, with the ultimate aim of transforming
the Maltese Islands into a European Aviation Hub.
Over the last decade, Malta's aviation regulatory framework
has been constantly augmented in order to cater for this
industry-wide push, commencing from the implementation of the
Aircraft Registration Act which provided a sound legal framework on
which Malta's legislators continued to expand, and the
accession of the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in
Mobile Equipment and its Aircraft Protocol.
