President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu visited the new passenger terminal at Velana International Airport (VIA) today to assess the project's progress as it nears completion.

He was accompanied by Cabinet Ministers, Ministers at the President's Office, and other senior government officials. The delegation was welcomed by MACL’s CEO & Managing Director, Ibrahim Shareef Mohamed, along with Deputy Managing Directors Mujthaba Latheef and Mohamed Lamaan, as well as other senior company officials.

During the tour, the President visited key areas of the terminal and received updates on its development. The terminal is set to open in October, marking a major milestone in the country’s aviation sector.

Designed to accommodate seven million passengers annually, the new terminal will ease congestion and significantly enhance the passenger experience at VIA. Spanning 72,000 square meters, it incorporates design elements inspired by the Maldivian landscape, featuring terrazzo flooring reminiscent of the sea, wave-like ceiling patterns, and walls adorned with natural motifs. The facility includes 47 check-in counters, six self-service kiosks, a state-of-the-art baggage handling system, and advanced security screening technologies.

With construction in its final stages, MACL remains committed to delivering a modern, world-class terminal that reflects the Maldives’ dedication to service excellence and operational efficiency.
