Manta Air has announced plans to launch its flight operations in Addu City.
The private domestic airline said the operations will commence as soon as the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) grants the permit. However, Manta Air revealed it is difficult to announce an exact date, adding the aim is to commence flights to Addu later this month. As such, Manta Air plans to conduct one scheduled flight per day between Gan International Airport (GIA) and Velana International Airport (VIA).
Manta Air is also set to operate flights to Gaafu Alifu Atoll and Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll on Saturdays in line with the flights operated by Sri Lankan Airlines. The private airline said its ticket fare will be announced following the approval from the CAA.
Manta Air commenced operations in February 2019. In this regard, Manta Air currently operates scheduled flights to Dharavandhoo in Baa Atoll and Kudahuvadhoo in Dhaalu Atoll.
The airline also operates charter flights to other parts of the Maldives.
