Manta Air, the Maldives’ prominent seaplane and domestic airline, has achieved a significant milestone by inaugurating its first international route, linking Bangalore, India, with Dhaalu Airport in the Maldives. This inaugural flight on February 16th marks a pivotal moment for tourism in the Dhaalu Atoll, providing a more direct and convenient travel option for Indian visitors. Previously, travelers heading to the Dhaalu Atoll had to transit through Male’s Velana International Airport, adding extra time and transfers to their journey. Manta Air’s new direct flights eliminate this need, offering a streamlined and time-saving travel experience. This development not only benefits tourists but also facilitates travel for Maldivians seeking medical treatment, education, and leisure opportunities in Bangalore, fostering cultural exchange and strengthening bilateral ties.
