Royal Air Force Luqa was a Royal Air Force station located on the island of Malta, now developed into the Malta International Airport. It hosted aircraft of Air Headquarters Malta (AHQ Malta) during the Second World War. Particularly during the Siege of Malta from 1941 to 1943, RAF Luqa was a very important base for British Commonwealth forces fighting against Italy and Germany for naval control of the Mediterranean and for ground control of North Africa. Air combat over and near Malta was some of the most ferocious of the war, and a series of airfields were built on the small, rocky island: at Luqa, Ta' Qali, and Hal Far, plus satellite fields at Safi, Qrendi and on Malta's second island of Gozo.

Les combats aériens au-dessus et à proximité de Malte furent parmi les plus féroces de la guerre, et une série d'aérodromes furent construits sur la petite île rocheuse : à Luqa, Ta' Qali et Hal Far, ainsi que des champs satellites à Safi, Qrendi et sur la deuxième île de Ma (fr)
