International Flights: Manta Air Announces Direct Flights From Bengaluru To Maldives From January

Manta Air, the leading airline in the Maldives, is pleased to declare the initiation of non-stop flights from India to the picturesque Maldives. The significant announcement took place at a prestigious gathering hosted at the elegant Bang at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Bengaluru.

Manta Air is set to revolutionize air travel between India and the Maldives by launching non-stop flights from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport to the Maldives’ Dhaalu Airport. This move will simplify travel for passengers, eliminating the need to transit through the main Velana International Airport in Male and providing direct access to the luxurious resorts located in the Dhaalu atoll.

Manta Air, the leading seaplane and domestic airline operator in the Maldives, is dedicated to delivering a seamless travel experience and exceptional customer service to its passengers. By providing direct flights to Dhaalu Airport, Manta Air enables visitors traveling to resorts in that Atoll to save time and avoid additional transfer costs associated with the traditional Male' airport route. Moreover, Manta Air ensures efficient immigration processes exclusively for its guests at Dhaalu Airport, guaranteeing swift transfers. Dhaalu Atoll is home to some of the finest resorts in the country, such as Kandima Maldives, Niyama Private Islands, St. Regis Maldives, RIU, Baglioni, Angsana Velavaru, and Sun Siyam Iru Veli.

The flight itineraries have been carefully planned to ensure that visitors can make the most of their time in the Maldives. All flights are scheduled to arrive in the mornings and depart in the late evenings, providing ample opportunity for guests to enjoy their stay before heading back to India.

The commencement of these non-stop flights is planned for January 2024.

Ahmed Maumoon, the Deputy CEO of Manta Air, stated that this announcement signifies a significant turning point for our company. We are transitioning from being the leading domestic and seaplane carrier in the Maldives to becoming an international airline operator. Manta Air's expansion includes the introduction of a new direct flight route from India to the Maldives. This development is expected to generate a surge in travel interest and bookings from Indian tourists. The primary objective of this strategic move is to enhance the overall guest experience and drive more bookings for resorts in Dhaalu atoll, specifically Kandima, RIU Hotel, and Niyama Private Islands. These resorts are conveniently situated in close proximity to the airport. By facilitating easier and more affordable travel access to the Maldives, we anticipate a substantial increase in travel demand from Bengaluru and across India in 2024 and beyond.

This significant endeavor represents a significant achievement for the indigenous Maldives' airline and recognizes India as a crucial origin market for the Maldives. Manta Air, in partnership with high-quality partner resorts, will create unique bundled packages for the respective properties that are conveniently linked to Dhaalu Airport. These meticulously crafted deals guarantee seamless convenience for international travelers from India, leading to substantial reductions in both travel time and expenses. Through this initiative, Manta Air strives to elevate the onboard experience, simplify international travel procedures, and eliminate the necessity for intermediary travel prerequisites or connecting domestic flights within the Maldives.
