Prices may be based on an aircraft family represented by the model shown. These estimates use a reference travel date and may differ for your chosen dates. A final quotation is required for your itinerary, travel date and aircraft availability.

Aircraft selection and estimated flight times
Aircraft selection: The five aircraft models displayed for each route are the most frequently used on that route in the flight records. Flights across the cities’ main airports are combined when selecting them.
Estimated flight times: Flight times are calculated estimates based on route distance, aircraft performance and recorded durations for the same aircraft model or comparable flights. Times are rounded to the nearest 5 minutes and may vary with routing and operating conditions. Flight-time calibration uses records from 2020 through October 2026.
Flight activity: sources and methodology
Activity methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the recorded flights by matching them to airports, cities and aircraft categories, then aggregating them. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025. The figures include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are excluded. The data was generated on 14 October 2026. This generation date is separate from the activity year.
Definitions: A private aviation movement is one recorded departure or arrival at an airport serving a city. A flight between Hulhule Island and another city counts once in Hulhule Island’s route total, whether arriving or departing. A return flight counts as a separate movement. A connected city is a distinct city with at least one qualifying private aviation flight to or from Hulhule Island during 2025. The connected-city count covers the routes included in this dataset, not just those displayed in the table.
Busiest periods: Busiest periods identify a significant seasonal concentration in recorded movements in both directions during 2025. Isolated spikes are filtered out. Year-round means no qualifying seasonal concentration was identified, although activity can vary between months. A classification requires at least 30 annual movements, 99% statistical significance and an average monthly activity rate at least 1.75 times the rest of the year. Single-month periods also require recurrence checks using January to August 2026 records.

Where should you stay in Hulhule Island?
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Hulhule Island (Malé)?
Booking well in advance is strongly recommended for Hulhule Island, the gateway to the Maldives, especially from December to April, during the dry season when resorts are busiest. Parking at Velana International is limited, with many aircraft repositioned after drop-off. LunaJets often arranges flights to Hulhule at short notice, even when the airport is busy.
Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Hulhule Island?
Yes, you may bring a cat (or other permitted pet species) on a private jet to Hulhule Island under Maldives’ import rules. Dogs are not allowed. Cats must have a 15-digit ISO microchip, a valid rabies vaccination (30 days to 12 months before entry), a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian, and parasite treatments. If all conditions are satisfied, no quarantine is required. LunaJets will confirm the latest regulations and ensure your pet’s import paperwork is compliant.
What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Hulhule Island?
All travellers flying privately to Hulhule Island must comply with Maldives’ entry rules. Visitors may obtain a Visitor Visa on Arrival for 30 days. A valid passport is required; it should meet the country’s entry requirements. LunaJets will confirm the latest visa conditions for your nationality and ensure your documents are in order.
Is Malé Velana International the only airport in the Maldives?
No. While Velana International Airport (MLE) on Hulhule Island is the Maldives’ main gateway and the only airport handling most international arrivals, there are several regional airports across the country. Examples include Gan International (GAN) in the south, Hanimaadhoo (HAQ) in the north, and Maafaru (NMF) in Noonu Atoll. These airports are used for domestic connections or, in some cases, limited international flights.
What type of seaplanes are used in the Maldives?
Most transfers are operated by De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter seaplanes, fitted with floats for water landings. These aircraft typically carry 15–19 passengers and are adapted for short island hops. Their ability to land on water makes them the most practical way to reach resorts spread across the archipelago.
