The following is a list of foreign-registered aircraft that either were, or still are, based in Malta, but never placed on the Maltese register.
To avoid unnecessary duplication of data, aircraft that stayed in Malta pending overhaul are to be found at the Safi Movements. The same applies for DC-3s and DHC-4 Caribou.
The information has been split in three sections – jets, general aviation and helicopters. The column containing the c/n has been eliminated, and this number can now be found in the HISTORY column.
An aircraft type in bold indicates a new addition. This page was last updated on 01.05.06.
