The national airline, Maldivian, has announced scheduled seaplane flights to Baa atoll.

Island Aviation, which operates the airline, said flights will be operated to Fulhadhoo, Fehendhoo and Goidhoo every Thursday and Saturday.

Maldivian said seaplane flights were in high demand for the ongoing Eid-al-Fitr holidays, with all seats fully booked.

A one-way fare is MVR 1099.

Maldivian has a total of 11 twin-otter aircraft, each carrying 13 passengers.

The three islands of Fulhadhoo, Fehendhoo and Goidoo in Baa atoll lie as a separate atoll. It takes about an hour to travel from Baa Dharavandhoo airport to these islands.
