Two Danish Air Force  F-16 fighter aircraft were diverted to Malta today because of bad weather over Sigonella.

The aircraft were returning from an operation over Libya. They landed at Malta International Airport at about 6.45 a.m. They left just before 10.30 a.m.

This was the first time that Danish aircraft involved in the Libya operation needed to land in Malta.
