Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA) has marked the festive season with an impressive achievement, transferring over 5,500 passengers in a single day. This milestone highlights the airline’s capacity to handle peak travel demand, ensuring seamless operations for thousands of visitors arriving in the Maldives for the holidays.
This figure represents a significant increase compared to a few years ago when the daily average was 3,500 passengers. With a fleet now expanded to 65 seaplanes, TMA is better equipped to meet the growing demand, providing more visitors with the opportunity to experience the Maldives’ renowned natural beauty.
As the country’s longest-serving seaplane operator, TMA has played a crucial role in connecting Velana International Airport to over 80 resorts across 16 atolls. Starting with just two aircraft and four passengers, TMA has grown into the world’s largest seaplane fleet, supporting the rapid expansion of Maldivian tourism. The airline’s services have improved access to remote islands, enabling resorts beyond the Male’ atoll to thrive and offering travellers more diverse options for their holiday destinations.
The success of this busy day reflects the dedication and teamwork of TMA’s staff, who ensure smooth operations during high-demand periods. With its expanded fleet and experienced team, TMA continues to be a cornerstone of the Maldives’ thriving tourism sector, helping visitors explore the islands with ease and comfort.
As the holiday season unfolds, TMA remains focused on enhancing the travel experiences of its passengers, solidifying its reputation as a vital player in the Maldives’ tourism industry and an integral part of the country’s tourism infrastructure.
