A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE MALDIVES VELANA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Maldives Velana International Airport has a rich and interesting history. The first landing strip for aircraft was established in 1960 on Hulhulé Island, and it was made from slotted steel sheets.

The first asphalt runway was constructed in 1966 on Malé Island and modernized in the upcoming years due to the tourist boom that started in the 1970s.

Today’s Velana International Airport derives its name from a 2017 process of rebranding, and which refers to the family name of the country’s former President Ibrahim Nasir. However, the air travel facility has had other names in the past, such as the Malé International Airport (1981-2011), and the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (2011-2017).

The Velana International Airport is one of the most low-lying airports in the world, standing at only 2 meters (6 ft) above sea level. It has two asphalt runways and four waterdrome runways. There are three terminals on the location: the International Terminal, the Domestic Terminal, and the waterdrome Seaplane Terminal.

The Maldives Velana International Airport is located just 5 km away from the Maldives capital city of Malé, and it is a popular arrival and departure spot for the many tourists, but also for ex-pats and business people living and working in the area.
