AirWave Logistics

AirWave Logistics moves goods in and out of Malta by air, sea and road, and handles the paperwork that comes with them. It is based on Mdina Road in Qormi, a busy central town that sits within easy reach of the island's main roads. Customers range from firms that ship regularly to anyone who has a one-off consignment and wants it dealt with properly.

The business is listed in our directory of courier and freight companies in Malta, where you can compare it with other local carriers. Because Malta imports most of what it consumes, a good forwarder is part of daily commercial life, which is worth remembering if you are thinking about setting up or running a business on the island.

Who runs AirWave Logistics

AirWave Logistics Ltd was founded on 28 October 2024 by Paul Curmi together with his son, Karl James Curmi. Paul Curmi was previously a director at S. Curmi and Sons, a logistics agency established in 1975, and the new company builds on that background. It describes itself as young but with deep roots, mixing established habits with newer methods.

The working philosophy is Kaizen, a Japanese idea of continuous improvement. In practice that means reviewing how loads are packed, how customers are updated and how each job is closed out, then making small changes every day. A line from Henry Ford sits behind it: quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

Air, sea and road freight

The airfreight and courier service covers everything from urgent documents to larger cargo, using a global network to and from Malta. It includes real-time tracking, support with customs clearance and door-to-door options. If you or your staff are flying in from the UK, our guide to flights to Malta explains the routes, but cargo travels separately and is best arranged in advance.

Sea freight covers full container loads and groupage, which means sharing container space with other shipments. AirWave handles customs and delivery scheduling for both imports and exports. The road trailer service links Malta with mainland Europe and beyond, for full trailer loads or groupage cargo, with flexible scheduling and tracking along the way.

Many UK readers meet this kind of service when they move house or ship equipment for a remote job. If that is you, start with our Malta relocation guide and our notes for digital nomads in Malta, then ask AirWave how a commercial consignment of goods would be handled.

Customs, haulage and storage

Customs clearance is a separate service for imports and exports in Malta. The team prepares documentation, classifies goods under the tariff, arranges duty payments and deals with inspections, aiming to avoid delays. This matters to firms in sectors such as financial services and iGaming companies in Malta that bring in office and technology equipment, as well as to traders in physical goods.

Domestic haulage moves palletised cargo, perishable products and bulky items within Malta, including refrigerated transport for temperature-sensitive goods. The fleet is equipped for dangerous goods, perishable cargo and refrigerated cargo. Dangerous goods work is handled under DGSA rules, with a team that follows the regulations strictly.

Warehouse and storage facilities in Malta are available for short or long periods, so goods can wait safely until they are needed. Qormi is close to Valletta and the island's old capital, and our guides to the capital, Valletta and the silent city of Mdina show how near the main sites are if you combine business with a visit.

How to get started

Tell AirWave what you are moving, where it is going and when it needs to arrive, and mention whether it is fragile, refrigerated or classed as dangerous. The company aims to listen first and then offer a tailored service. For an overview of the country you are shipping to, our about Malta page is a useful background read.
