In the southern part of the Maldives, international flights are serviced by the Gan Airport. Before the pandemic, this airport received flights from South Africa and Sri Lanka. Tourists use Gan Airport for traveling to Southern Atolls. This part of the Maldives is especially attractive for the divers, as it has popular dive spots and diverse marine ecosystems. “Private Jets” arranges the flights to/from Gan International Airport.
Today, Gan International Airport receives only direct flights from Sri Lanka. Passengers flying from other countries first need to get to Velana International Airport (Ibrahim Nasir International Airport), located near Male, the capital of Maldives. From here, you can fly to Gan on very light jets, and then get to your destination by seaplane or maritime transport.

You can get to the newest hotels in Huvadhoo Atoll in just an hour. The airport has secure parking for business jets and offers a full range of services before departure and after the landing. All our offers are available 24/7. We work without holidays and weekends.

You can stay at such hotels as “Pebbles Inn”, “Wave Sound By 3S Maldives” or “Lodger Guest House”. There are many souvenir shops on the island, where tourists can buy ceramics, embroidery, handwoven fabrics, musical instruments, and decorative objects made of fine wood.

Gan International Airport is located on the island of Gan in Addu Atoll. It is a former Royal Air Force station on Gan Island. From 1950 to 1976, it belonged to Great Britain and then was handed over to the Maldives government. In 1980, Gan Airport was included in the country’s national development plan, which includes the phased modernization of the airport. That’s what has been achieved so far:
To date, Gan Airport has a single concrete runway. It is 3.400 meters long and 60 meters wide. The airport is located 2 meters above sea level. Since 2008, the airport has been serving different jets- from very light (such as Cessna) to heavy (such as Airbus A320). After building a seaplane base, Gan became a tourist center of the South Maldives. Gan International Airport is capable of accommodating ICAO code 4E aircraft. In the future, the management plans to transform Gan into an aviation port intended for large commercial events.
