The number of aircraft on the Maltese aviation register has reached a record of 201.

Since January, the authority registered 49 aircraft. A total of 43 aircraft were registered over the whole of last year.

Transport Malta said in a statement that various initiatives aimed at restructuring the Civil Aviation Directorate had been taken including extensive training to key personnel and an aggressive recruitment drive that resulted in doubling specialised inspecting personnel at the authority.

More investment in personnel is expected to be made next year to further strengthen other areas of the directorate.
