Air Malta to collect funds on behalf of MCCF

Air Malta together with Sky Gourmet, will be assisting The Malta Community Chest Fund (MCCF) during the months of November and December. During these months, Air Malta Cabin Crew will be collecting funds on board the airline’s flights towards this cause.

The MCCF is an organisation aimed at promoting solidarity among people living in Malta. The Fund, which is chaired by the President of Malta, supports institutions and organisations that provide financial, material and professional support to people experiencing difficulties because of severe chronic or terminal illness, including cancer, disability, poverty, unemployment or lack of resources, without any form of discrimination.

Joe Galea, Deputy Chief Commercial Officer said, “Each year the fund supports thousands of people who rely on the generosity of the fund to organise such initiatives to help them in their basic daily needs. Their work is commendable and the national airline is proud to support MCCF once again.

“Together with the support of our customers we aim to continue helping the MCCF in their hard work among those in need.”

The MCCF organises several annual events to raise funds. All these activities involve thousands of persons who willingly donate their time, money and energy to contribute to a commendable cause, and bear witness to the value of love and solidarity.

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.  The airline 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.
