Maldivian plans international expansion with second A320 and potential new A330 operation
Maldivian is planning to further expand its fledgling international network, with a focus on China, as the carrier adds a second A320 family aircraft and potentially an A330. The expansion could lead to the government-owned carrier competing with privately-owned MEGA Maldives, which operates an expanding fleet of 757s and 767s, as well as several foreign airlines.
Maldivian was predominantly a domestic carrier and only operated one short-haul route to southern India until it added its first jet, an A320, in late 2012. It currently serves nine domestic and four international destinations, including one in China and three in South Asia.
Maldivian continues to expand domestically as it acquires more Bombardier Dash 8 turboprops and adds a new seaplane fleet. But more controversially it is pursuing expansion in the international market, starting with a second Chinese destination.
