Your Maldives Flight
Wherever You Are




Finding the right Maldives flight can be tricky if you haven’t book a holiday package that comes with flights and accommodation. But don’t despair, whether you want to fly chartered, schedule or budget, with or without a stop over you can be sure to find a flight to the Maldives that suits you and your budget.

Although the Maldives is becoming more and more popular as vacation destination it still doesn’t attract millions of holiday-makers each year. In fact, official figures shows there were less than 750,000 tourists the Maldives in 2007.

“What does this mean?” I hear you ask; well it means that apart from Europe and Asia, a trip to the Maldives will mean connecting flights.

Maldives Flight – Scheduled Airlines

There are a host of scheduled flights each week to the Maldives from across the globe. Scheduled flights are a bit like your well known airline, like LTU International Airways from Germany or Sri Lankan Airlines from… you guessed it, Sri Lanka.

These guys are the big guns and tend to focus on really popular business and holiday destinations so you won’t always find your country’s major airline heading towards Malé… but worry not, there are plenty of airlines that do.

To help, we've put together a list of the scheduled airlines that fly to the Maldives... So if you can't fly from the country you're in, then perhaps you can fly to a country that has scheduled (or chartered) flights to the maldives. Oh and where there's more than one flight route, each route starts on a separate line.

* These airlines also provide other flights to the Maldives that have different stop overs or different airline carriers.

Maldives Flights – Chartered Airlines

These are usually run by major holiday companies, like Thompson and First Choice or by airlines like Monarch that are part of larger groups… and you’ll probably have seen the names amongst many others flying to the Maldives.

Just like the scheduled flights, if you can't fly from the country you're in, then you should be able to travel to a country that has chartered (or scheduled) flights to the maldives.

All the information above is correct at the time of writing and should be used as a guide only. Always, always check with your travel agent or airline operator which routes they're currently using as Maldives flight routes (much like every other flight route) change frequently.


And if (like us) you aren't sure which aiports the codes refer to, then we've found a site that loves to tell us all what those three little letters mean!


Maldives Flights – Budget and Low Cost Airlines

Budget airlines do travel to the Maldives. Traditionally they didn't, as their profits came from carrying out a high number of short haul flights each day. But with many tourists happy to organise their holidays to the Maldives independently, the market has opened up.

You can find budget airlines based in Europe and Asia that offer cheap flights, but remember it's only a flight; it's not accommodation, or meals, or transfers from Malé to the resort; it's a straightforward flight only deal.

For more information about finding flights to the maldives including prices and frequency, check out our travel links section




We hope that you find this information helpful. We realise that if you're not based in Europe or Asia that you'll probably have to get a connecting flight and the lists above should help you choose a country that offers connecting flights to the Maldives that suit your travel plans.

Enjoy your Maldives flight and enjoy your Maldives holiday.
