A helicopter this afternoon launched from one of the super yachts at the Grand Harbour Marina in Vittoriosa, flew past Fort St Angelo and made its way to Malta International Airport.

The helicopter was on the super yacht Samar, which comes complete with a helipad. The Samar is one of the latest super yachts at the marina.

Grand Harbour Marina general manager Ben Stuart said the company worked hard to provide clients with a high level of service. The quality of service Malta could provide could be seen from the way the exercise, a first for Malta, was conducted.

The marina collaborated with the Civil Aviation Department, the Harbour Master and Transport Malta to put in place the proper procedure to allow the flight.
