A Knight of St John is the star of Air Malta’s new in-flight safety video, rolled out onboard its Airbus A320 and A319 fleets.

The cartoon knight, clad in silver armour, takes passengers through all the procedures that ensure safety aboard, starting with baggage placement and how to fasten seat belts.

More information then follows about what to do in case of an emergency, indicating the location of emergency exits and how to use life jackets and oxygen masks.

“Safety is our top priority. This year we decided to refresh our safety video to make it more captivating to our audience by striking a friendlier tone,” said Manuel Agius, chief officer cargo, systems and cabin crew.

“Using a charismatic knight of St John allowed us to continue following Air Malta’s focus of becoming a destination airline, ambassador and guide to what the Maltese islands can offer while highlighting another proud element of Malta’s heritage.”

The video also features the airline’s recent regulation to allow mobile phones and tablets to be left on flight mode throughout the entire duration of the journey.
