Maldivian, the national airline, has announced the decision to lease a medium-haul flight Airbus A319 or A320 Current Engine Option (CEO) series for international flight operations, with a proposed lease period of three years.
Maldivian has previously engaged in the utilisation of aircraft through extended lease agreements for its operational requirements. The airline aims to enhance its services with this new addition by September 2024.
As part of the government-led initiative to expand Maldivian's services and fleet, the airline recently added a fourth ATR aircraft on May 8. With this addition, Maldivian's fleet now comprises 25 aircraft.
The airline is actively working to further expand its fleet, thereby consolidating its position in the market.
