Managing Director of Regional Airports Company Limited (RACL) Ahmed Mubeen has announced that adequate resources have been secured to enhance operations at Maavarulu Airport.
Speaking on a program aired on PSM News, Mubeen noted that while Maavarulu Airport was recently established, it initially lacked essential services. He disclosed that arrangements have been made to provide utility and ambulance services at the airport, along with several other improvements.
Maavarulu Airport, which began operations in 2020, faced challenges due to the absence of some critical services. This year’s budget includes funds to introduce and enhance these services. RACL is focused on making Maavarulu a more comfortable destination for visitors by improving amenities such as cafés and restaurants and enhancing transportation services, including ferry services for employees.
The development of Maavarulu Airport was contracted to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) and was completed in two phases. The airport features a 1,200-meter runway, with scheduled flights operating on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Efforts are ongoing to ensure that Maavarulu Airport meets the needs of its visitors and staff, reflecting a commitment to improving regional connectivity and service quality.
