Flights to Male (MLE)

Last updated: Sep 10, 2026

Did you mean flights from Male?

Velana International Airport occupies almost the whole of Hulhulé Island, next to the Maldivian capital Malé. The runway runs from one end of the island to the other, with lagoon on both sides.

Right now there are 69 airports in 30 countries connected to Male, 7 of them domestic, with 80 airlines flying scheduled passenger traffic.

Male's longest nonstop connection is Melbourne (MEL), 5,388 miles, offered by Maldivian.

Nearly every visitor to the Maldives lands here and then continues by speedboat or seaplane, which is why the airport hosts one of the largest seaplane operations in the world.
