Network Airline Services and Air Malta Support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal

Network Airline Services and Air Malta have assisted the Royal British Legion by carrying a shipment of red poppies and other memorabilia onboard one of their operating aircraft from London to Malta.

John Gilfeather, Sales Director, says, “The Legion spends nearly £1.6 million a week delivering health and welfare support. They offer everything from bereavement counselling for families of those who have been killed in action, to helping those who have been injured get compensation and helping servicemen returning to civilian life.”

Last year, Air Malta raised a total of €29,000 towards the relief and welfare of Maltese and British ex-service men and women.

“We are delighted to support causes such as the Poppy Appeal, which helps raise awareness and funds for people who have sacrificed so much,” says John Vella, Air Malta’s Head of Cargo Sales & Marketing.

As of November 2, 2017, Network Airline Services (CDG office) extended its contractual territory with Amerijet International Inc. to include Malta. Our customers in this country can now book their shipments on Amerijet’s flights through their local NAS office and these transactions will be managed and directed through our team in France.

In 2015, we were able to extend our agreement in the country of France to include South Africa. Today, another milestone has been reached and we are truly proud of our long-standing relationship with Amerijet and look forward to expanding their presence in the Middle East and Malta markets by representing these flights across all of our locations.”
