The new route, set to begin on May 17, 2025, will offer a seamless 35-minute flight, significantly improving accessibility for both residents and visitors.

Maldivian will operate regular flights to Muli Airport, with one-way ticket fares starting at MVR 1,377. The airline aims to enhance accessibility to Meemu Atoll, catering to both residents and visitors seeking seamless travel options.

Muli Airport, which officially commenced operations in May 2025, is the first airport in Meemu Atoll. Built on 36 hectares of reclaimed land, the airport features a 1,500-meter runway and was developed by the Regional Airports Company Limited to improve transportation infrastructure and boost economic opportunities in the region.
