With the introduction of flights to Kudahuvadhoo, Maldivian’s domestic network will expand to 18 airports.
Kudahuvadhoo Airport is operated by Manta Air, which uses the airport as its hub. Manta has not yet commented on any operational changes following Maldivian’s entry into the route.
Manta Air recently reduced its domestic flights, and Maldivian has been operating charter flights to Kudahuvadhoo at Manta’s request. The airport is a key gateway for tourist transfers to major resorts in Dhaalu Atoll, as well as for travel between the atoll and Male'.
