FAQ
Airport transfer questions
Which transfer type should I choose from the airport?
It depends on your resort's distance from Velana International Airport. Resorts within about an hour usually use a speedboat, more distant atolls use a domestic flight or seaplane, and if you're staying in Malé or Hulhumalé first, a road car transfer is fastest.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Share your flight number when booking. Operators track international arrivals and adjust departure times for delays, including late-night transfers where needed. See our guide on handling delayed flights for more detail.
How does meet-and-greet work at the airport?
An operator representative waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name board, then guides you to the speedboat jetty, car park, or domestic terminal for your onward journey.
Can I book a car transfer as an airport transfer?
Yes. Car transfers between the airport and Malé or Hulhumalé are a type of airport transfer — they just travel by road instead of by sea or air. All of our sedans, vans, mini buses and coaches include meet & greet at the airport.
Are resort speedboat transfers only available from Velana Airport?
Most of our resort speedboat transfers depart from Velana International Airport (MLE), with a smaller set departing from Kooddoo Airport (GKK) for resorts in Gaafu Alifu Atoll. Every listing shows its departure airport.
