Seaplane Flights

One of the best ways to grasp how truly stunning the islands are is by looking on from above, while on board a seaplane. Seaplanes are commonly used as a local means of transport, and provide the perfect angle for memorable photographs of the iconic archipelago and its endless white beaches. Trans Maldivian Airways is the largest company that operates private flights between the islands.
