Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) has assured that services at Velana International Airport (VIA) will continue without interruption under any circumstances due to strengthened coordination between key authorities.
MACL has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Maldives Meteorological Service (MMS), and Maldives Red Crescent (MRC) to enhance airport safety, security and emergency preparedness.
