Air India has introduced daily direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi to Malé, significantly improving connectivity between India and the Maldives. The new services aim to make travel easier and more convenient for Indian tourists and business travellers, reducing travel time and eliminating the need for layovers.
These direct flights are expected to further boost Indian tourist arrivals to the Maldives, which have already reached 117,292 this year. The Maldives continues to be a preferred destination for Indian vacationers, offering idyllic lagoons, vibrant marine life, and exceptional hospitality.
The increased accessibility is not only expected to enhance leisure tourism but also foster stronger business ties between the two countries. Improved connectivity is likely to facilitate greater collaboration and open new opportunities for both Indian and Maldivian enterprises.
Air India’s latest development highlights the growing importance of the Maldives as a key destination for Indian travellers, reflecting the longstanding cultural and economic ties between the two nations.
