The development of the new terminal at the Velana International Airport (VIA), initiated by the former president Abdulla Yameen's administration has been delayed by another two years.
Maldives Airports Company Limited's (MACL) Corporate Communications Manager Shamaan Shakir said the project completion date was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and difficulties in procuring labour and material since the sub-contractor for the new terminal is a Chinese company.
