Flying private to the Maldives

Private jets land at Velana International Airport next to Malé. From there resorts are reached by speedboat for the atolls nearby, or by seaplane or a short domestic flight and boat for those further out.

Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so a late arrival may mean a night near Malé or a domestic flight instead; we time the flight so the transfer works. Resorts arrange the transfer, and we pass them your arrival details.

From Dubai or Doha a midsize or super midsize jet flies non-stop; from Europe a heavy or ultra long range jet does.

Can a jet land?

Yes, at Velana International Airport (Malé). Resorts are then reached by seaplane, domestic flight or speedboat; the resort arranges the transfer, timed to your landing.

Malé to the resort: speedboat for nearby atolls, seaplane (daylight only) or domestic flight and boat for the rest.
