Maldivian has announced that its air ambulance service is now available for medical evacuations to Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, broadening access to advanced healthcare for Maldivians who require specialised treatment abroad. The new routes operate on an on-demand basis and are supported by partnerships with internationally accredited service providers.
According to the national airline, the initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, the National Social Protection Agency (NSPA), Aasandha, the Ministry of Finance and Planning, and the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation. The expansion is part of a wider government effort to improve healthcare access for citizens who may need emergency transfers or care that cannot be provided locally.
Maldivian said the extended service aligns with its mission to support community well-being through timely and reliable medical transport. The airline also expressed appreciation to all government partners involved in the project, highlighting their role in strengthening the broader healthcare system.
The national carrier currently operates a fleet of 26 aircraft across domestic and international routes, with services connecting 17 domestic airports and destinations including India and China.
