A new chapter in domestic air travel is set to begin as Maldivian, the national airline of the Maldives, introduces scheduled flights to Meemu Atoll’s island of Muli for the first time. This new route, launching on 17th May 2025, brings Muli into the airline’s growing domestic network, offering improved accessibility for residents and enhanced opportunities for visitors seeking to explore lesser-known destinations in the Maldives.
The new service will operate weekly on Saturdays, with flights departing from Malé at 15:30 and returning from Muli at 16:45, ensuring a convenient 35-minute journey across the atolls. This initiative brings the total number of domestic destinations served by Maldivian to 17, reinforcing the airline’s role as the primary provider of domestic air connectivity across the Maldives’ dispersed island geography.
Tickets for the Muli route went on sale on 9th May 2025, and can now be booked through Maldivian’s official website, mobile application, and authorised agents. The introduction of this new route not only meets the growing demand for improved inter-island connectivity but also supports the broader goals of decentralisation and economic development across the atolls.
With fares starting from MVR 1,377 one-way, this route offers an affordable and time-saving option for both locals and tourists. Passengers can also enjoy Premium Economy class, featuring enhanced onboard services and amenities that cater to those seeking a more comfortable and convenient flying experience.
The addition of Muli to Maldivian’s domestic network is expected to stimulate regional tourism and generate new economic activity in Meemu Atoll. Known for its pristine marine environment, tranquil island life, and emerging tourism potential, Muli offers a unique escape from the more frequented resort hubs.
Maldivian’s strategic expansion into Meemu Atoll reflects a continued effort to improve regional infrastructure and promote sustainable growth through aviation. By connecting more remote islands to the capital and beyond, the airline contributes to the Maldives’ national development goals and supports the diversification of the country’s tourism offering.
Travellers and residents alike are encouraged to take advantage of this new route, which provides a seamless and efficient way to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of Meemu Atoll.
