Island Aviation said that passengers coming from New Delhi and Mumbai via Air India would not have to layover at Maldives for too long, with them being able to take a connecting domestic flight. Maldivian travels to 16 destinations within Maldives.

Maldivian Managing Director Ibrahim Iyas stated that due to the agreement with Air India, the work being done by the airline to offer a good service to passengers traveling to atolls will see progress. He said that he also hopes that the tourism industry will see further progress.

Maldivian has been signing connectivity agreements with other international airlines as well. And with these type of agreements, passengers who fly into Maldives internationally can easily book domestic flights.
