Maldivian Boosts Domestic Flight Schedule for School Holidays

Maldivian, the national carrier, has announced an expansion of its scheduled domestic flights in preparation for the upcoming school holiday period. Over the next five days, Maldivian will enhance its services to accommodate the anticipated increase in travellers to the outer islands, coinciding with the holiday season, according to the airline.

Maldivian stated that the scheduled flights to 10 regions will be increased to meet the heightened demand during the holidays. This practice is not new for the airline, which also ramps up its flight schedules during the Eid holidays to cater to the increased number of travellers.

From 16 to 20 December, Maldivian has planned additional flights, with the possibility of further increases if demand continues to rise. On 16 December, additional flights have been arranged to Gan International Airport, Fuvahmulah Airport, and Hoarafushi Airport. The following day, 17 December, will see extra flights to Fuvahmulah Airport, Kulhudhuffushi Airport, Kadhdhoo Airport, and Funadhoo Airport, the airline said.

On 18 December, more flights will travel to Hoarafushi Airport, Gan International Airport, Kadhdhoo Airport, and Faresmaathoda Airport. 19 December will have additional flights to Fuvahmulah Airport, Gan International Airport, Dharavandhoo Airport, and Hanimaadhoo International Airport, according to the national carrier.

On 20 December, extra flights are scheduled for Funadhoo Airport and Maavarulu Airport. More flights would be arranged if there is a surge in demand for seats, the national carrier assured, to ensure that all passengers can travel efficiently during the peak holiday periods.
