Maldivian introduced this new direct route with return fares for locals starting at USD299, making the flight between Hanimaadhoo and Bangalore affordable for residents of Hanimaadhoo and nearby islands. In addition to lower costs, the direct route also ensures shorter travel time, as residents of northern atolls would no longer be required to travel to the capital city of Male’ to access flights to Bangalore.
Announcing the new route, Maldivian also stated that the launch of the new route is especially relevant for families, students, and patients who are based in the northern islands of the Maldives.
