DHL Express Malta manager Charles Schiavone and Phoenix Sports Club president Orlando Bonnici presented a €1,500 cheque to the Malta Community Chest Fund at San Anton Palace, Attard, in aid of L-Istrina.

Over 120 people, including Opposition MPs and MEP candidates, turned up for Plane Pull Malta at the Safi Aviation Park, organised by DHL Express in association with the sports club.

Over €1,200 were collected on the day since each person who took part was asked to donate €10 to L-Istrina. DHL Express then rounded off the figure.

“We are extremely satisfied with this first event in which a DHL Express Boeing 757-200 Freighter aircraft was pulled at the Safi Aviation Park, with six teams pulling the aircraft a total distance of 120 metres,” Mr Schiavone said during the presentation.

“We plan this to be an annual event and ensure that, with due notice and the right timing, we can do even better next year.”

Both Mr Schiavone and Mr Bonnici thanked all the people involved, including those in the Office of the President, Malta International Airport and the Armed Forces of Malta, together with volunteers.
