Ahmed Shafiu Appointed as the Chairman of Island Aviation

Island Aviation, the operator of the national airline Maldivian, has appointed Ahmed Shafiu as the Chairman of its Board of Directors. The announcement was made yesterday via a social media post by the company.

This marks Shafiu’s second tenure as Chairman of Island Aviation. He first held the position during the administration of former President Abdulla Yameen.

Shafiu currently serves as a state minister at the Ministry of Higher Education, a role he assumed approximately a month after the current government took office. In addition to his ongoing responsibilities, Shafiu is also a former cabinet minister, having served as the Minister of Fisheries during the administration of former President Mohamed Waheed Hassan Manik.

Island Aviation’s decision to bring back Shafiu as Chairman reflects his extensive experience in governance and leadership. His reappointment underscores continuity and familiarity with the operations of the national airline.

Maldivian, operated by Island Aviation, plays a vital role in connecting the islands of the Maldives and ensuring seamless travel within the country and beyond.
