Maldivian to launch daily flights to Kudahuvadhoo

Maldivian, the national airline, is expanding its domestic network by launching scheduled daily flights between Malé and Kudahuvadhoo. The new service is set to begin on 17 September 2026, making Kudahuvadhoo the airline’s 18th domestic airport destination.

The new route aims to improve connectivity for residents of Dhaalu Atoll, providing better access to Malé for healthcare, education, and business. It is also expected to support local tourism by making the region more accessible to travelers visiting high-end resorts in the atoll.

Kudahuvadhoo Airport is currently managed by Manta Air. The decision to introduce Maldivian services follows discussions initiated by the Kudahuvadhoo Council to address a lack of scheduled services in the area. Promotional fares for the new route are starting from MVR 1,111.
