Briefing

What we plan around at MLE.

Local constraints we build into every delivery window: curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.

01

Seaplane / speedboat to the resort island.

The jet lands at Velana; the final leg is a seaplane, speedboat, or domestic flight to the resort island. We provision the jet leg and coordinate to the transfer. Often direct tarmac-to-seaplane.

02

Customs at Velana.

International clearance with VIP fast-track; we stage to it.

03

Permits.

Maldivian landing permits via the handler; build in lead time.

04

Seaplane = daylight.

Seaplane transfers are daylight-bound, late arrivals may overnight near Malé or transfer by speedboat. Plan timing.

05

Resort provisioning.

Much catering is resort-island-based; we provision through the gateway and the transfer.

Coconut, tropical fruit, and island-grown produce.
