Maldivian to Launch Seaplane Flights to Kamadhoo with Special Introductory Fare

National carrier Maldivian is set to begin dazzling new seaplane flights to Baa atoll Kamadhoo from Thursday next week, bringing the vibrant island closer to travelers with a fresh, affordable option. The airline announced that the flights will operate regularly every Thursday, offering an attractive introductory one-way fare of just MVR 1,199.

The eagerly awaited service follows an agreement signed on August 11 with The Hawks Hotel, a partnership seen as a significant milestone for boosting connectivity to the flourishing guesthouse island. Kamadhoo, already a lively hotspot for domestic travelers during Eid and other festive holidays, is witnessing rapid growth in its guesthouse sector. Local tourism operators enthusiastically predict that the new seaplane link will dramatically increase visitor arrivals, injecting fresh energy into the community’s blossoming tourism economy.

According to Maldivian, the initiative highlights the airline’s growing commitment to enhancing domestic air connectivity and supporting local tourism development across the country. The government, too, has ambitiously outlined plans to expand seaplane services to other highly popular guesthouse destinations, including Alifu Alifu Thoddoo, Alifu Alifu Ukulhas, and Noonu atoll Velidhoo. Officials say these expansions will play a crucial role in diversifying the country’s tourism sector beyond resorts, making travel more accessible and affordable for both locals and international visitors.

With the new Kamadhoo service, residents and tourists alike are expected to enjoy faster, smoother, and more scenic connections to the island, which is celebrated for its peaceful charm, pristine natural beauty, and increasingly dynamic hospitality offerings.
