- Dharavandhoo Airport
- Faresmaathodaa Airport
- Funadhoo Airport

Emirates’ Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim said "partnering with Maldivian offers customers smooth connections when flying to a wide choice of islands within the country via Malé."
"By extending this added-value benefit, our customers from across the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Americas can plan their journey to the Maldives with the convenience of booking flights on a single ticket to reach their final destination."
General Manager – Commercial at Maldivian Ibrahim Hamdhan Mohamed said "this partnership would enable us to increase the visibility of our extensive domestic network."
"Customers will be able to plan and book their entire journey directly through the airline with ease. As the national carrier we always strive to make Maldives more accessible to travelers from around the world and we believe the partnership with Emirates will strengthen our position as the leading airline in Maldives."
