This photo is showing an aeroplane taking off from the Malta International Airport during an airshow causing noise and air pollution. Malta has the highest population density in Europe, so land is scarce. Therefore airports, factories,quarries and other landuses are found very close to the houses. The people of the villages of Luqa, Safi, Kirkop and Gudja have to endure daily the drone of the aeroplane engines. This also happens throughout the night and is much worse during the summer months. The area is also suffering from air pollution. When there is the international air show, the situation is much worse as the military planes perform acrobatics very close to the roofs, posing a safety hazard.
