The government intends to move legislation by the middle of this year to improve the conditions for the registration of business jets in Malta, Transport Minister Austin Gatt said today. The legislative will also feature incentives.

He made his comments when he toured an Airbus 318 Elite, which has been registered in Malta by the Swiss-based company Comlux.

The aircraft is the second to have been registered here by the company, and a third will follow in the coming weeks.

Dr Gatt said the government would like to see Malta becoming a centre for the registration of aircraft, particularly business jets. Indeed, aviation could become an important sector within the economy, as the Lufthansa Technik operations in Malta showed, the minister said.
