The year 2023 marks a significant milestone for TMA; marking the 30th year of operating seaplanes in the  Maldives. Since the introduction of seaplane services to the Maldives in 1993, TMA has pioneered point-to point connectivity in the country, and has given the tourism industry the confidence to expand to the outer  atolls beyond Male’.
