Air Malta has assisted the Royal British Legion by carrying a shipment of red poppy wreaths from London to Malta, the airline said.

The Royal British Legion supports all current and former British military personnel by distributing small artificial red poppies in return for donations to their ‘Poppy Appeal’.

“We are delighted to support causes such as the Poppy Appeal, which help raise awareness and funds for people who have sacrificed so much,” said Air Malta’s chief officer Cargo-Systems Manuel Agius.

The Royal British Legion helps the whole armed forces community through welfare, companionship and representation as well as being the nation’s Custodian of Remembrance.
