A Brief History of Maafaru International Airport

Construction of Maafaru International Airport commenced in 2017 as part of broader efforts by local authorities to expand access to the Noonu Atoll and strengthen its position as a premium tourist destination. The airport welcomed its first flights in 2019 and has since become one of only three international airports serving the Maldives. Its development reflects the growing demand for direct access to the atolls beyond Malé, sparing travellers the additional transit time that once made reaching the Noonu Atoll a more protracted affair.
