Air Malta dedicates August to Inspire
This month our national airline Air Malta will be assisting the Inspire Foundation by collecting funds on board the airline’s flights towards this cause.
Inspire believes that everyone has a right to equality and inclusion. Its mission is to try to help everyone with a disability achieve this, by providing individuals and their families with educational, therapeutic and leisure services.
“Today, Inspire helps over 1,000 individuals with various disabilities ranging from Down syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy and learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyscalculia. We do this through many services and disability programmes that are offered at a highly subsidised rate or sometimes even for free. But this is only possible thanks to the voluntary donations collected from the general public and assistance from national organisations like Air Malta,” explained Antonello Gauci, Inspire’s CEO.
Joe Galea, acting CEO of the national airline said: “Air Malta is more than just an airline. Apart from our efforts to connect the Maltese Islands to main gateways across Europe and the Mediterranean we offer support to the community through a number of initiatives. We are proud to once again help Inspire to continue their commendable work within the local community and continue assisting hundreds of individuals and their families support services in time of need.”
This campaign also forms part of Air Malta’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives whereby the airline supports organisations that work hard in the Maltese community.
As Malta’s national carrier, the airline is the only airline flying from Malta that fully supports the local community in all possible ways and every year it carries an increasing number of medical cases, including stretcher cases for treatment abroad. No other airline operating to Malta provides continued support to voluntary and non-governmental organisations like Air Malta.
This initiative is also being supported by the airline’s catering provider, Sky Gourmet.
