Private flights to Maldives.
Maldives is one of the most requested private destinations from United Arab Emirates.
Private jets land at Velana International (MLE). As an international arrival, you clear customs and immigration at the first airport of entry; we check passports, visas and permits when you book.
From Al Ain the flight takes about 3h 55m in a midsize jet. From Sir Bani Yas Island it takes about 4h 11m, and a midsize jet is the better fit.
Prices below are one-way estimates for the whole aircraft, before the airport departure fee, positioning and overnight costs. A return the same day or after a short stay is often cheaper than two one-way trips.

Maldives route guides
Before you fly to Maldives
- Landing permits come from Maldives civil aviation: at least a week ahead off-peak and at least a month ahead from November to March, when parking at Velana International is hard to get. Without parking, the jet repositions to Gan International.
- Private passengers are cleared through the CIP lounge, and resorts are reached by speedboat or seaplane; there is no helicopter service.
