Hub Airport
Velana International Airport
Velana International Airport, or Malé International Airport, is an international airport in the Maldives, the main gateway into the Maldives and the hub airport for Flyme. The airport opened in 1960 and was originally a small runway on a small section of land. However, as tourism has grown in the Maldives, the airport has been extended to facilitate the high volume of flights that it serves today.
Flyme has used Malé Velana International Airport as its hub airport since it commenced operations in 2011. Other airlines that use Malé International Airport include Maldivian, Manta Air and Trans Maldivian Airways. BeOnd, a start-up Maldivian airline, will also use this airport as its hub once it launches operations in 2023.
Fleet
Flyme's fleet is entirely ATR aircraft. The airline has a total of three ATR jets within its fleet. Flyme began operating with a singular ATR 42-500 until 2013 when it added an ATR 72-500. In 2017, the airline added its most recent jet — an ATR 42-500.
