Maldivian has announced special non stop flights between Malé and Jeddah during the upcoming school holiday period, offering an additional travel option for Maldivians planning to perform Umrah.
According to the airline, three outbound flights will operate from Malé to Jeddah on 27 and 28 December 2025, with three return flights scheduled from Jeddah to Malé on 10, 11 and 12 January 2026. The schedule is designed to align with school holidays, allowing families adequate time to complete Umrah arrangements while travelling during a period that is more convenient for students and working parents.
Return fares for the special flights start from USD 750 and include a baggage allowance of 45 kg. Maldivian said the higher allowance is intended to support travellers with additional luggage needs, including permitted items such as Zamzam water on the return journey.
All flights will be operated using Maldivian’s A330 aircraft, which the airline said offers a spacious and comfortable travel experience suited for long haul journeys, families, and elderly passengers.
The flight schedule and booking details were outlined in the announcement, with travellers encouraged to secure their bookings before 20 December to ensure availability on preferred dates.
