What we fly
One aerial department with a single job: put a production-grade camera exactly where the DP wants it — with the rig, the crew and the clearances ready when the schedule says fly.
Full-size cinema cameras in the air. Our Freefly Alta X lifts the ARRI Alexa 35 and Alexa Mini LF with production glass, matched to the look of the main unit.
A fleet of DJI Inspire 3s for fast-moving aerial coverage — establishing shots, tracking work and second-unit days where agility and turnaround matter.
High-speed, close-quarters flying for chase sequences, fly-throughs and the shots a gimbal platform can't reach.
Thermal imaging, location recces and technical aerial support for stunts, marine work and night shoots across the islands.
A complete aerial department, not just a pilot. Focus puller and 2nd AC on every cinema rig, and a specialised camera truck that brings the whole operation to the field — with all the bells and whistles.

Why Malta
Malta has been standing in for somewhere else for decades. Ancient Rome one summer, the Black Sea the day after, revolutionary France the next. We've filmed our share of sea battles beneath those bastions. Productions keep coming back because the weather is dependable, the coastline is dramatic, and in places like Rinella, even the sea can be controlled.
We know these islands from the air in a way that only comes with time. We know when the Grand Harbour settles, when the wind starts to curl over the bastions of Valletta, and which stretches of coast keep the last of the evening light.
That knowledge is useful on a recce, but even more useful on the day.
The same is true of permits, clearances and local coordination. We know how filming works here, who needs to be involved, and what needs to be in place before the aircraft leaves the ground. Most of it is dealt with before it ever becomes your problem.
Malta is small, and we think that is one of its strengths. There are no layers between you and the people doing the work. The pilots you meet on the recce are the same pilots who will be beside you on set — the same team that flew on Gladiator II, Napoleon, Jurassic World: Rebirth, Queen of the South and many of the productions that brought us here in the first place.
