Maldivian Launches Seasonal Flights to Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur for December School Holidays

Maldivian, the national airline, has announced the introduction of seasonal flights to Bangkok, Thailand, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, ahead of the December school holidays, catering to increased travel demand during the festive period.

The airline will operate direct weekly services to both destinations throughout December and January. Flights to Kuala Lumpur are scheduled every Sunday, with round-trip fares starting at USD 335, while services to Bangkok will operate on Tuesdays, priced at USD 399. Both routes will be non-stop, and bookings are now open for travellers.

This move continues Maldivian’s established practice of launching temporary routes to popular destinations during school recess periods, temporarily expanding its international footprint. Currently, the carrier maintains scheduled operations to five cities across China and India.

The announcement also underscores Maldivian’s broader strategic ambitions. The airline has recently revealed plans to appoint an agent to support the expansion of services to South Korea, signalling its intent to enter new markets and diversify its international network.
