IAS to Address High Prices for Domestic Flights

Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Mohamed Ameen announced changes to Island Aviation Services (IAS) to address high domestic flight prices. Ameen stated that IAS was profitable by 2018 and did not rely on state funds, but from 2018 to 2023 its business declined, partly due to COVID-19. The administration has initiated management changes and administrative restructuring. Ameen believes prices will adjust with income from wide-body aircraft operations, international opportunities, and economic influx from the 'Week 14' policies. The price hike in domestic flights is a major concern for citizens.
