Plane Spotting Malta Airport 13-10-2018 | Wet Start & Mad-dogs!

After a very wet start of the trip, day 2 was the full day of spotting at Malta Airport! It's certainly not the busiest airport in the world, but it's impressive how they cope with the amount of movements on a apron which is not really that big. It seems not much bigger than Rotterdam Airport actually! But the traffic is very good. What did I see? Well let's begin by saying you do see a lot of Ryanair at MLA. Them and Air Malta are the main airlines that operate out of Malta. I also saw some Wizzairs, Transavia France, Easyjets including an A320NEO, Alitalia, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Czech Airlines, and Jet2. I also got the whole Air Malta fleet on tape aswell as an Olympic Bombardier Dash-8. But there were three aircraft which stood out this day. Firstly there is Volotea coming in with a Boeing 717! A rare aircraft in Europe. I got a couple of 717s from Blue1 years back, but that airline no longer exists. To make things ever better, Danish Air Transport flew in OY-RUT, an MD82 which once belonged to Meridiana but still wears their livery! To see those two aircraft taxi around the airport at the same time was incredible! And then there's Emirates who serves MLA with a B777-300ER. The flight goes via Lanarca and is Malta's sole, but very impressive scheduled widebody movement. Really cool to see how an aircraft this big is being handled by an airport this small! I also got some privat jet and a helicopter from Qatar on tape, aswell as some quick shots of stored aircraft which are two Arik Air 737s, two A321NEOs from the recently fallen airline Primera Air, and a B767-200 which is still active but just sitting there while it wasn't used. All in all an action packed compilation from Malta International airport! I hope you enjoy!

Erg leuk ook die Atlantic airways van de Faroe eilanden...... Een tijdje terug heb ik een documentaire bekeken over deze eilanden. Het ziet er in 1 woord ''adembenemend'' uit.......ik heb werkelijk de hele docu lang met open mond zitten kijken!!! De code ''OY-...'' verklapt je dat de eilanden net als Groenland onderdeel uitmaken van Denemarken.....

[@RudivanGoch]

Leuk om te horen Jay! Ik heb die airline ook nooit eerder gezien!

Goodness there was a lot going on in Malta, nowadays its rare to find something that isnt Air Malta, Ryanair, Easyjet, Wizzair and some traditional airline here or there.

[@RudivanGoch]

Yeah I was very happy with the movements I got!

[@SomeGuyFromMalta]

@@RudivanGoch like no seriously The "MLA" starter pack is: Ryanair and Easyjet are 99% guaranteed to be there An air Malta or 2 Traditional airline to make it more interesting A budget airline you've never heard of A General Aviation plane A once in a lifetime ultra special random Lufthansa wide body that's here for maintenance...

[@RudivanGoch]

@@SomeGuyFromMalta Guess I did well then! I saw loads of interesting stuff when I was there!

[@SomeGuyFromMalta]

@@RudivanGoch you sure did.

Awesome video, mate! It's good to still see some MadDogs in Southern Europe. ;)

[@RudivanGoch]

Thank you! Sure is!

[@34500dauphin]

Good compilation and ;;;same weather like Amsterdam; At 12:00 Easyjet A320 Neo have same sound like 777 'sGE90 spool up

[@RudivanGoch]

Thanks!!

[@andyrichardsvideovlogs8835]

Very enjoyable. Seems odd to see so many A320s there now, as I remember going into Malta years ago on one of the very first ever A320s to go in - G-BUSB of British Airways.

[@RudivanGoch]

Thanks a lot Andy! That's really cool!

[@SomeGuyFromMalta]

Listen, here in Malta Every local planespotter has a seizure when something that isnt: Air Malta Ryanair EasyJet Wizzair Emirates British Airways Lufthansa ITA Airways Or just a widebody airliner that isnt the Emirates 777
