Maamigili Airport launched as an international airport

Maamigili Airport, operated by private company Villa Air, has been declared an international airport.

The airport was launched as an international airport by President Dr Mohamed Waheed at a special ceremony held at Adh. Maamigili this afternoon.

Villa Air Chairman Gasim Ibrahim said that given the amount of resorts located in the region, priority will be given to private jets and flights coming into the country in the process of making the airport international.

Villa Air has accomplished a lot in the aviation industry lately, including its recent purchase of a 68-seat aircraft. The company has decided to purchase an additional aircraft of the same make this year. Villa Air currently operates to Maamigili, B. Dharavandhoo and S. Gan, and plans to start operation of seaplanes this year as well.
