Qatar Airways is enhancing travel experiences to the Maldives with a new interline partnership with Maldivian, the Maldives' national carrier. This collaboration allows passengers to book both Qatar Airways and Maldivian flights together through qatarairways.com.

Travellers planning their holidays at one of the Maldives’ stunning islands can now include both their Qatar Airways and Maldivian flights in a single booking. Upon arrival at Velana International Airport, Qatar Airways passengers will be directed to the domestic terminal for their connecting Maldivian flight.

With the new system improving international connectivity, travellers now have access to 17 domestic destinations in the Maldives, including Dharavandhoo, Faresmaathodaa, Funadhoo, Fuvahmulah, Gan, Hanimaadhoo, Ifuru, Kaadedhdhoo, Kadhdhoo, Kooddoo, Maafaru, Maavarulu, Madivaru, and Thimarafushi.
