Due to the high number of tourist arrivals with the increase
in resorts in the past years, Velana International Airport (VIA) has added 14
additional counters at the International Passenger Terminal.
They were officially opened at a special ceremony on the 10th
of April 2019 by Minister of Tourism Ali Waheed, who was accompanied by Acting
Manager Director of VIA Moosa Solih.
Addressing the ceremony, Acting Manager Director Moosa Solih
said that the new counters were built in efforts to expad the international
Passenger Terminal. He quotes, "We opened these [counters] to ease the
current load. It is estimated that the international passengers will increase
seven fold within the next year."
Including the existing ones, the new total number of
counters which is operated at the international terminal has now reached 42.
