Maldivian appoints MEGACAP Aviation Services Ltd as general sales agent for China
With Megacap’s extensive experience in China, Maldivian is well-positioned to expand its visibility, strengthen partnerships with travel trade and tour operators, and welcome an even greater number of Chinese travellers to experience the Maldives.
Maldivian, the national airline of the Maldives, is pleased to announce the appointment of MEGACAP Aviation Services Ltd as its General Sales Agent (GSA) for China, marking a significant step forward in the airline’s commitment to deepening connectivity between China and the Maldives.
China continues to serve as an important strategic route for Maldives. With 329,110 Chinese visitors arriving in the Maldives, a 25% increase over the previous year, and China holding the top position as the single largest source market with a 14.6% share of total arrivals, the strategic importance of this market cannot be overstated. In 2026, this momentum continues, with 86,464 Chinese visitors already recorded as of mid March, accounting for 15.6% of total arrivals.
Maldivian operates weekly flights from Malé to China using its wide-body A330-200 aircraft, offering travellers seamless access to the Maldives. The routes, operated since January 2025, build on the airline’s longstanding history of serving the Chinese market, and reflect Maldivian’s confidence in the continued growth of Chinese outbound travel to the islands.
With Megacap’s extensive experience in China, Maldivian is well-positioned to expand its visibility, strengthen partnerships with travel trade and tour operators, and welcome an even greater number of Chinese travellers to experience the Maldives.
China has long been central to our international strategy, and the appointment of Megacap is a reflection of our long-term commitment to this market. We look forward to working closely with Megacap to build stronger trade relationships and to welcome even more Chinese travellers to discover the very best of what the Maldives has to offer.
