The operations of the old terminal at HDh. Hanimaadhoo International Airport have been transferred to the newly constructed terminal.
Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL), which operates Hanimaadhoo International Airport, stated in a post on X today that Code-C or the largest aircraft can now land at Hanimaadhoo Airport, and the airport's operations were moved to the new terminal yesterday.
MACL had said last Tuesday that they would start using the new terminal at Hanimaadhoo Airport this month and officially open it within the month.
The transfer of operations from the old terminal to the new terminal at Hanimaadhoo Airport is part of the preparations for the official opening of the new terminal.
As MACL is making final preparations for opening the new terminal at Hanimaadhoo International Airport, they have begun the ORAT (Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer) process.
This includes preparing terminal services and procedures, testing equipment and machinery, training human resources who will be the main operators, and ensuring that the entire terminal meets national and international standards before and after opening.
