Velana International Airport (VIA) has achieved a significant milestone in its operational history by recording over 1000 air traffic movements within a 24-hour period. This remarkable feat underscores the airport’s growing importance as a major hub in the region.
On December 22, 2024, VIA recorded a total of 1000 movements, comprising 234 runway movements and an impressive 766 seaplane movements.
This achievement marks the first time the airport has crossed the 1000-movement threshold in a single day, highlighting the increasing demand for air travel to and from the Maldives.
The milestone is a testament to the efficiency and dedication of the Air Traffic Control team at VIA, who have worked tirelessly to manage the increased traffic while ensuring safety and smooth operations.
This achievement not only reflects the airport’s capacity to handle a high volume of flights but also its pivotal role in connecting the Maldives to the rest of the world.
As the Maldives continues to be a premier destination for tourists, the ability to accommodate such a high number of movements is crucial. The increase in seaplane movements, in particular, highlights the unique aspect of air travel in the Maldives, where seaplanes play a vital role in transporting visitors to the various islands and resorts.
