	Directions

	The following are directions on how to find us when coming for a local flight - your pilot will have told you which place from the following list to come to.


+	How to get to "Gate 4"

	Coming from Luqa - when you get to the airport's main roundabout where there is the Mc Donalds sign, turn towards Kirkop. Proceed through the tunnel under the runway, and take a right turn at the next roundabout towards the ST Microelectronics factory. Drive for another 500 metres past the factory until you come to another roundabout which has exits for Zurrieq, Qrendi, and Mqabba. Take the 4th exit to the right into a seemingly disused road, and follow the signs for Malta Air Traffic Services (MATS) until you come to a gate manned by a soldier. Stop the car there and park in the small clearing, and contact the person you were planning to meet so you can be picked up. Have your ID card/passport ready. In case you worry about getting hopelessly lost, and thus feel the urge to enter the co-ordinates into your car's GPS, here they are: N 35˚ 51' 2.5", E 14˚ 28' 53.6" (Click here for Google Earth locator file.)


+	How to get to "Park 1"

	Coming from Luqa or south - drive past the roundabout in Luqa that has the semi-erotic giant blue phallus-shaped object (apparently it's modern art!) for about 350 metres and turn left into the side road there. Continue along that road, always keeping to the left, and proceed for about 500 metres. You'll see an apron where various light aircraft are parked and further along a manned security gate. Park somewhere there and contact the person you were planning to meet so you can be picked up. Have your ID card/passport ready. If you are coming from the north (e.g. Qormi, Valletta, Sliema etc) go past the Qormi roundabout which has exits to Luqa, Marsa, Valletta and Zebbug and head towards Luqa. After about 800 metres you'll come to another roundabout and just keep going straight towards Luqa. When you get to the Water Services Corporation building, proceed a further 200 metres and turn right into the side street as explained in the previous paragraph. And for those amongst us that may be slightly directionally-challenged, here are the GPS coordinates: N 35˚ 51' 37.6", E 14˚ 28' 43.3" (Click here for Google Earth locator file.)
