Xewkija Heliport, or Gozo Heliport (ICAO: LMMG), is a small heliport on the island of Gozo in Malta, near the town of Xewkija.
It has two 22 meter wide helipads, connected by asphalt, forming a small 174 meter long runway. The brand new heliport, located only a few dozen yards/meters south from Ta Lambert, was opened in 1996.
Xewkija Heliport in 2007
The heliport used to have scheduled services to Malta Airport, but the company that flew them seized to exist in 2004
From March 2005 till October 2006 the flights were done by Spanish company Helicòpteros del Sureste.
Currently, no scheduled flights take place from the heliport, although Heli Link Malta offers flights between the heliport and Malta on request.
Currently it is being examined if the current short runway could be expanded to allow fixed wing aircraft STOL to land at Xewkija.
