History
The Airport was constructed by Bonavista (Maldives) Pvt Ltd in 2012 and was opened by president Mohamed Waheed Hassan.[3][6] It was later renovated in 2017 by Pristine Island Investment and was opened by president Abdulla Yameen, which included a new new VIP lounge and two staff accommodation blocks.[7]
In 2024, the Maldivian airline halted flights to the airport after the airport's runway damaged two of the wings of a plane.[8] The Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Mohamed Ameen, has said that the operator, Pristine Island Maldives, will renovate the runway as well as the apron.[9][10]
