The airport was scheduled to be opened in March 20. However, it was delayed due to the COVID-19 situation. 

The airport project was commenced in 2018. MTCC conducted the passenger jetty and taxiway work. 

The government has plans to construct the fourth airport in the atoll in G.Dh. Faresmaathodaa. It is the government’s target to establish an airport within a 30-minute distance of speedboats from inhabited islands.
