Regional Airports Company Limited has decided to increase the ground handling fee of the six domestic airports under its operation.
Managing Director Mohamed Rizvi said the current rate is 20 years old and that the fee will be hiked by 10% to increase the revenue of the airports. He said none of its airports are profitable and that hiring more employees adds to the cost.
The government established the Regional Airports Company in 2020 to improve the operations of airports in the atolls. The company is currently operating Hoarafushi Airport, Kulhudhuffushi Airport, Funadhoo Airport, Maavarulu Airport, Fuvahmulah Airport, and Haminaadhoo International Airport.
