History and Mission

The Malta Aviation Museum Foundation is a voluntary, non-profit making organisation, set up on the 1st November 1994, joining together various associations with the objective of creating a display of unique exhibits related to Malta’s rich aviation history. Since its inception, the Foundation has worked very hard to acquire, restore and preserve a number of aircraft, artefacts and documentation which are of cultural, historical and educational value.

Museum Facilities and Services

The Museum was originally established within two Romney huts sited at the former RAF Station Ta’Qali but now has two new large hangars plus a café, chapel, memorial garden, air warden hut, toilet facilities, etc.

The Air Battle of Malta Memorial Hangar was opened in September 2005 and a new Main Exhibition Hanger in September 2011.

Sponsorships and Donations

The establishment of the museum would have never been possible without the hard work of volunteers and financial support received from various local and international organisations since 1994. The foundation kindly thanks all the volunteers and sponsors for their support throughout the years. Any person who would like to donate any funds, exhibits or free time to the Malta Aviation Museum Foundation is more than welcome to contact the Director General, Ray Polidano via email. The museum is also striving to enhance its archives with photos relating to aviation in Malta. All donations (financial and in kind) will be acknowledged by an official receipt issued by Malta Aviation Museum Foundation
