  • LH1276 from Frankfurt is approaching Malta . You have an excellent and rare approach to this beautiful island, passing by Gozo, Comino and the maltese island. Passing by the south gives you a sensationell overview of the medeiterraenean island. Rare approach, completely new to me. Watch out for this Lufthansa approach in beautiful weather conditions.
    flight was operated by Airbus A321-231, reg. D-AIDE, brand new aircraft. Taped in April 2013.

    Wow! My mum is Maltese and when I was a child we spent every summer holiday in Malta with my nan, and I would go up to the roof of her apartment where I could see the runway and watch the planes come in and take off. Never, ever flew this approach though. Stunning!

      I was fortunate to fly in this way in my only trip to Malta; I didn't know this approach wasn't common and I was on the left side window. It was a stunning view indeed. The Azure Window was still there (Nov. 2016)

    Seems to be a pretty unique approach. I fly from the UK to Malta around six time a year, and I too have never been on that approach. As Mangion says, it's normally down the East coast, then a right hand turn, and straight over the Freeport.
    Occasionally I've gone straight down the middle of the Island, and landed in the opposite direction, but never west coast,
    Got a place in Paola, I too love the place

      @@paulgoode5245 Strangely enough I've just returned from Malta and flew in north to south, straight down the middle of the island.
      And all the time I was in Paola planes were passing overhead, so obviously using the same approach. As I say in the past, 9 times out of 10 it was down the east coast and landing from the south.

    Beautiful video D-AIRX. Ive never seen this approach before, and never experienced it. I loved that final turn so close to the runway!
    That wide long strip of concrete at 6:30 is actually an old military runway used in WWII and before. Now it is used as a drag racing strip.

      Richy :. It's what remains of RNAS Hal Far. The station had 2 runways in the shape of a St Andrew's cross. I flew in there once when the runway at Luqa was being re-surfaced. I love Malta too but I do miss the buses!

    Typically the approach would be from Malta's East coast not that area. Normally also pilots not familiar with Luqa Airport take a longer approach and go out further at sea before the final turn. Interesting. I've been on tens of flights into Malta and never had this approach

    • @doveronefoxtrot4417
      @doveronefoxtrot4417 6 років тому

      They use both ends of the runway dependant on wind factor, that approach is actually fairly common.
