Watch: Malta Becomes First European Country To Blast Fireworks From Drones
Valletta’s skies lit up last night with a stunning display to close the International Fireworks Festival in style.
In an exciting first, Malta became the first European country to launch fireworks using drones, according to the Civil Aviation Directorate at Transport Malta.
Footage sent to Lovin Malta captured the breathtaking spectacle over the Grand Harbour.
“Pyroemotions” the pyrotechnics company responsible for organizing this type of show in Europe is registered in Malta and a few months ago delivered similar shows in Aosta, Italy; Burgio in Sicily; with others expected soon in Italy and Montenegro.
The Transport Authority thanks the Malta Police Force, the Civil Protection Department, the Malta Pyrotechnics Association, and all other concerned entities for their full collaboration in making it possible for this drone show to take place in our country for the first time.
The Civil Aviation Directorate within Transport Malta, as a full member of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), has been collaborating with the Agency to introduce new concepts— first for drone swarms, and now for drone swarms equipped with pyrotechnics.
