A test flight landed at Sh. Funadhoo Airport on the night of December 31st 2025 to facilitate the commencement of night flight operations.
Establishing night flight capabilities at Funadhoo Airport is a pledge made by President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu.
Following the completion of the necessary arrangements at Funadhoo Airport, a Maldivian flight landed as a test flight early last night.
The test flight was initially scheduled for the previous night. However, it was postponed to last night due to low visibility in the northern Maldives.
During President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s visit to Funadhoo in October this year, a project to further develop Funadhoo Airport was officially handed over to MACL (Maldives Airports Company Limited). During a meeting with the residents during that visit, the President stated that arrangements for night flight landings at the island’s airport would be finalized before the end of this year.
Funadhoo Airport, currently the only airport in Shaviyani Atoll, was opened in 2020. The airport features a 1,200-meter long and 30-meter wide runway specifically designed for domestic operations.
