The Malta Federation of Organisations Persons with Disability (MFOPD) would like to commend Air Malta for finally accepting that guide dogs are not just pets and that they are alongside their owners with a specific mission. MFOPD sees as positive Air Malta's change in policy to allow such guide dogs to travel with their owners, and this in the spirit of the European Directive that has recently become enforceable. This positive action also comes at an appropriate time in view of the fact that Maltese visually impaired persons are shortly to start making use of trained guide dogs. Such a decision will surely facilitate travel for visually impaired persons using the services of Air Malta.
