Private jet charter for Perm Rep
Richard Cachia Caruana uses private jet to return home instead of re-timing Air Malta flight from Tripoli.
Malta’s permanent representative to the European Union was allowed an extravagant choice to charter a private jet from Malta, to collect him from Tripoli and get him to Malta International Airport. He later boarded a flight to Rome and then to Brussels.
Richard Cachia Caruana, perm rep in Brussels since 2004, was by the Prime Minister’s side on Tuesday afternoon in Tripoli for the third EU-Africa summit.
He landed from Tripoli aboard the Eurojet Ltd seven-seater Learjet, a favourite in government circles, which costs $3,200 (€2,450) an hour.
