These enhancements aim to accommodate larger aircraft and boost the airport’s capacity, catering to an increasing demand for international travel to the Maldives.

Located in Noonu Atoll, Maafaru International Airport originally opened on 1 December 2019. The project was funded by a $60 million grant from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.
