10th edition, 23-27 June, 1979.

With the British Forces having left Malta earlier in the year on 31 March, and Hal-Far having been handed over to the Maltese Government in September 1978, a change in venue was inevitable. From 1979 onwards, Luqa Airport started hosting the International Air Rally of Malta. Certainly for the car-less enthusiast, Luqa was more attractive, as going to Hal-Far still meant a further 15-20 minute walk after the bus journey.

As for the rally itself, 1979 was one of the better attended editions, with fifty-one entrants, with four cancellations, all British. Unfortunately, what would have made this edition even more memorable, a 1940 Percival Proctor and a 1941 DH 82, failed to materialise.

Each qualifying rallyist received a memento of the 10th anniversary Air Rally, presented by the organising committee of the International Air Rally of Malta.
