Air Malta has launched another You Tube video – following the Gangnam Style one – to promote the airline “with a smile”.

This time, the promo features players from Belgian Jupiler League team OH Leuven and former Maltese football star Carmel Bużu Busuttil and was filmed during a routine aircraft check by the engineering department.

Four footballers, dressed as Air Malta engineers, are seen demonstrating their skills. When one of them delivers a powerful shot directed at the plane, Bużu makes a spectacular flying header to drive the ball away.

The stars of the video are four young professional players from OH Leuven FC: Alessandro Cerigioni, Dean Michiels, Joren Dehond and Thomas Azevedo.

Busuttil is well known in both Malta and Belgium, having played in the Belgian League as club captain for KRC Genk and achieving more than 100 caps for Malta in international matches.

The Maltese Islands are becoming an increasingly significant destination for training camps for European football clubs, especially because of the mild winters.

Clubs that have benefited from Malta’s facilities include OH Leuven, Sheffield United, Manchester United, AC Milan, Juventus and Parma FC.

The Air Malta video is available to watch at www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-gtrQeYMeQ.
