Luqa ex-Airmalta Head Offices

Previously the home of Malta’s national airline, the Luqa ex-Airmalta Head Offices is a complex of buildings that nowadays houses the Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS), as well as a wide variety of companies, particularly within the aviation sector given its immediate proximity to the Malta International Airport (MIA).

The complex is a reflection of Luqa’s close ties with the aviation industry, which commenced in the early 20th century when the British Royal Air Force established a base with runways in the locality. This was later transformed into a civilian airport in the post-war era, with more modern facilities being built along the years in the surrounding area to further boost the airport and the services it offers.
