Maldivian celebrates 18 years of operations in India | News
Maldivian, the national carrier of the Maldives, proudly marked 18 years of flights to India with a special commemorative event celebrating the airline’s longstanding presence in one of its strategically most important markets.
For almost two decades, operations in India have remained a key pillar of the Maldives’ regional connectivity and growth. Maldivian currently flies 5 times a week to both Thiruvananthapuram and Cochin. Over the past eighteen years, these routes have played an important role in strengthening access to essential markets and improving connectivity between the Maldives and major Indian cities. The network has also supported tourism, trade, education and medical travel, further strengthening the close ties between the two neighboring countries.
The special event brought together key stakeholders, partners and team members to reflect on the airline’s journey in the Indian market and recognize the contributions of those who have helped shape this success over the years. As part of the celebration, long-serving employees and valued partners received commemorative awards in recognition of their dedication, loyalty and long-term support over Maldivian’s 18 years of operations in India.
Maldivian’s continued service to India underlines the airline’s commitment to maintaining strong regional connections and providing greater convenience to travelers traveling between the Maldives and India. As one of the airline’s key international markets, India continues to contribute significantly to Maldivian’s broader vision of connecting the Maldives to key destinations in the region.
With the largest domestic network in the Maldives, Maldivian also provides seamless connections for travelers arriving from India to destinations across the country, connecting them to holiday islands, local communities, business centers and essential services.
“India has been an integral part of Maldivian’s international journey over the past 18 years,” said Ibrahim Iyas, Managing Director of Maldivian. “This milestone is not only a celebration of our operations, but also a tribute to the dedicated staff, trusted partners and loyal customers who have supported us over the years. We remain committed to strengthening this important market and further improving connectivity between the Maldives and India.”
