- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

The Maldives' hub on Hulhulé island, linked to Malé by bridge and to resorts by speedboat and seaplane from the adjacent terminal. Peak season (Christmas–New Year, Chinese New Year) brings slot and parking caps with aircraft repositioning to Colombo or Gan; the VIP terminal handles CIQ.
