Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA) has expanded its seaplane fleet to 49 aircraft. The additional aircraft, a De Havilland DHC-6 Series 300, arrived yesterday afternoon (Friday, 29th September) at Velana International Airport (VIA) after completing its journey from Calgary city in Canada.

TMA’s fleet expansion comes in-light with the growing number of tourist arrivals and increasing bed capacity with the newly opening resorts in the Maldives.
