Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA) has started the festive season in full swing by transferring over 5,500 passengers in a single day. This impressive start to the holiday period reflects the airline’s capacity to manage high demand and ensure smooth operations for thousands of visitors heading to the Maldives.
This reflects the airline’s impressive growth and resilience, especially considering it was only a few years ago when the daily average was around 3,500 passengers. With a fleet now expanded to 65 seaplanes, TMA is better equipped than ever to meet the growing demand and offer more visitors the chance to experience the Maldives.
As the Maldives’ longest-serving and most trusted transport provider, TMA has become the go-to option for connecting travellers from Velana International Airport to over 80 resorts across 16 atolls. What began with just two aircraft and four passengers has evolved into the world’s largest seaplane fleet, comprising 65 aircraft. This expansion is a direct response to the rapid growth of tourism in the Maldives, with TMA’s services enabling improved access to remote islands and increasing resort options beyond the Male’ atoll. Today, TMA is not only one of the largest companies in the country but also a key player in the Maldives’ tourism infrastructure.
The number of transfer on this busy day highlights the exceptional teamwork and dedication of TMA’s staff, who ensure smooth operations during peak times. With its expanded fleet and expert team, TMA continues to be an essential part of the Maldives’ thriving tourism sector. As the holiday season unfolds, the airline remains focused on delivering unforgettable experiences for guests, helping them explore the breathtaking beauty of the Maldives with ease and comfort.
