The announcement confirms that Maldivian flights are now available in major Global Distribution Systems under the Hahnair Technologies X1 code, enabling travel agents in 190 markets to issue tickets through the standard GDS process using the HR-169 ticket.
According to the press release, the collaboration links Maldivian to a network of more than 350 partner airlines, strengthening its international distribution capabilities and widening access for passengers looking to travel to and within the Maldives. The arrangement is expected to make booking Maldivian flights more seamless for agents worldwide.
The airline noted that working through Hahnair’s established platform will support its goal of offering convenient connections to one of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
