The seventh edition of the Malta Aviation Conference and Expo (MACE) concluded after three days of workshops, discussion, and collaboration among global aviation leaders, innovators, and policymakers. Held on 28–30 October 2025 at the Corinthia, St George’s Bay, this year’s conference, themed “Navigating New Frontiers”, explored how the aviation industry is redefining itself amid rapid technological change, regulatory evolution, and renewed sustainability commitments.
The event was opened by the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure & Public Works, Hon. Dr Chris Bonett, alongside representatives from Transport Malta – MACE’s main sponsor since inception – setting the tone for an engaging program that brought together operators, regulators, investors, and service providers from Europe, Africa, and the United States.
Now firmly established as a key fixture on the international aviation calendar, MACE 2025 offered a dynamic platform for networking, debate, and the exchange of best practices. Sessions examined the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, access to finance, and geopolitical trends, while also addressing the people challenge, training innovation, and sustainability goals shaping the industry’s future.
This year also marked an expansion of the program, with pre-MACE workshops led by NERD.aero and Gogo Air, followed by networking events that fostered stronger engagement across all sectors of the aviation ecosystem. Throughout the conference, participants benefited from opportunities to connect with peers, explore collaboration prospects, and contribute to forward-looking discussions on growth, safety, and innovation.
