2015 proved to be a remarkably good year for Malta's
Aviation Industry as consistent growth was recorded throughout
last year. 61 aircraft were registered with Transport Malta while 6
new operators became certified. In addition, more pilot and
engineer licences were issued.
Currently, the
Malta Aviation Register has 213 aircraft and 28 operators
listed. A Sukhoi Superjet 100 is also on the registered –
this being the first model of its type to ever be registered within
the EU. Malta's success within the aviation industry is largely
due to fiscal incentives such as a highly advantageous
corporate tax structure as well as rebate on profits.
In addition, over the past year, the Civil Aviation Directorate
carried out various measures to improve service levels and be able
to meet the high standards required by this industry in order to
remain competitive. One such measure includes a considerable
investment in effective human resources.
