Flight Tickets to Velana International airport

Discover Velana International

Male Airport is the chief international airport in the Maldives. Travellers visiting from across the globe will have to fly to its gates, as it is the only gateway into the Maldives islands. The islands may seem isolated and inaccessible, but actually it is easily reached from anywhere in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe. International flights to Male Airport from places worldwide are operated by airlines including Air India, Singapore Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and plenty more. Apart from international flights, domestic carriers like Maldivian, FlyMe and Trans Maldives take passengers to other parts of the Maldives islands.

Getting Around

The airport is situated on Hulhule Island in North Male Atoll, near the capital city Male. To get to the city centre, take the Airport Ferry, which usually requires 15 to 20 minutes of travelling time. Otherwise, take a speedboat transfer from the airport to the city. As the Maldives is an island nation, travellers will most likely experience commuting by speedboat or seaplane. Male Airport has the world’s largest seaplane operations, with carriers like Trans Maldivian Airways and Maldivian Air Taxi offering flights to other locations in the country.

Travelling on foot is a feasible means of exploring the city centre. Most of Male’s notable landmarks are within walking distance, so getting around the compact city is easy. Take a short 15-minute stroll from the airport ferry jetty to the north shore, where most of the main attractions are clustered. For travellers looking to minimise travelling time, board a taxi to get to your destination. Otherwise, zip around the city on motorbike, another speedy way to get around.
