Hub Airport
Malé International Airport
Malé International Airport or Velana International Airport is the main airport in the Maldives and was the hub airport for Mega Maldives. The airline is situated on Hulhulé Island and acts as a major gateway into the Maldives from many areas of the world.
The airport opened as Hulhulé Airport in 1960 and the inaugural flight at the airport was flown by Air Ceylon in 1962. As tourism continued to grow in the Maldives, it was decided that the airport needed to be upgraded in order to take in the new influx of international traffic to the Maldives. It undertook a major revamp and was renamed Malé International Airport.
Malé International Airport is currently the hub for Maldivian and Trans Maldivian Airways.
Fleet
At the time that it ceased operations, Mega Maldives had a fleet containing entirely Boeing aircraft. In total, Mega Maldives operated three aircraft — one Boeing 757-200 and two Boeing 767-300.
