Ministry of Tourism and Environment says that they were closely coordinating with relevant authorities amid tensions in the Middle East and will provide assistance

The Government of the Republic of Maldives is following with profound concern the recent escalation of hostilities in the Middle East.

Due to the temporary closure of airspace over several Middle Eastern countries, passengers travelling to the region are advised to monitor updates from their respective airlines and tour operators before proceeding to the airport. Travellers are strongly encouraged to verify flight status through official airline channels, seek guidance on any rebooking or schedule changes, and allow additional time for necessary arrangements. Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining uninterrupted and efficient services at Velana International Airport during this period and expressed appreciation for passengers’ understanding and cooperation.
