Paragliding activities in Malta

During a meeting held on 18 February 1997, between the Department of Civil Aviation and representatives of the Malta Paragliding Association, it was clarified that paragliding activities in Malta are as yet not approved by the Department.

Consequently persons practicing such a sport would be infringing the air navigation regulations and would be liable to prosecution.

However the Department agreed to consider submissions by the Association so as to permit paragliding sport to take place in Malta with all due safety and in accordance with agreed procedures.
