Vodafone Malta Limited will be one of the main sponsors of the Airline Pilots Association, representing more than 135 Maltese pilots.
The sponsorship will help the association to continue working in the interests of Maltese aviators and to organise a number of events aimed at ensuring that Maltese pilots remain completely up-to-date with the latest developments in international aviation, Vodafone said. ALPA was set up on in May 1980 by a small group of first officers and flight engineers.
Over the years the organisation has become affiliated to the International Federation of Airline Pilots Association and in December 1986 it joined the European Pilots Association which promotes the interests of the European pilots.
