Air Malta and Inspire

Air Malta will be assisting Inspire during the months of July and August. During these months, Air Malta Cabin Crew will be collecting funds onboard the airline’s flights towards this cause.


Inspire believes that everyone has a right to equality and inclusion. Its mission is to try to help everyone with a disability achieve this by providing individuals and their families with educational, therapeutic and leisure services. Inspire also advocates for inclusion, educates the general public, raises awareness among peers, and holds the best knowledge base on disability on the island.


“Today, Inspire helps over 1000 individuals with various disabilities ranging from Down Syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy and learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. We do this through many services and disability programmes that are offered at a highly subsidised rate or sometimes even for free.  But this is only possible thanks to the voluntary donations collected from the general public,” explained Antonello Gauci – Inspire’s CEO.


Ursula Silling, Air Malta’s Chief Commercial Officer said, “Each year Air Malta organises a number of fund raising events onboard its flights to help local organisations raise funds. Inspire’s work is commendable and the national airline is proud to have the opportunity to support this organisation once again. Together with the support of our customers we aim to continue helping Inspire in their hard work among those in need.”


This campaign also forms part of Air Malta’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives whereby the airline supports organisations that work hard in the Maltese community.  As Malta’s national carrier the airline is the only airline flying from Malta that fully supports the local community in all possible ways and every year it carries an increasing number of medical cases, including stretcher cases for treatment abroad. No other airline operating to Malta provides continued support to voluntary and non-governmental organisations like Air Malta.


This initiative is also being supported by Sky Gourmet, the airline’s catering provider.
