is to help people enjoy flying. We are a non-profit club, which means that every club member digs in to help and make the club a better place to be in.

The Island Microlight Club is the first Microlight Club on the Maltese Islands. The new sport of microlight flying was first introduced to us by Maj. Alex Dalli and Maj. Mark Said, who are both professional pilots with the Armed Forces of Malta. They are also the founders of the Island Microlight Club.

Ever since their first flight, Alex and Mark have not overcome their thrill of flying. They decided to "hand down" this thrill of flying to others who had never thought they could be able to pilot an aircraft!

We are also proud to say that Island Microlight Club is a member of the following organizations:

the British Microlight Aircraft Association (BMAA)

the European Microlight Federation (EMF)

the Malta Aviation Museum Foundation (MAMF)

We operate from Luqa International Airport. This gives us use of 4 runways, these being 23/05 and 31/13. Wind is hardly ever a problem since the runways point in all directions. Since all flying is done in Class D airspace, the student is also taught good radio telephony skills and procedures.
