Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) has begun preparations to introduce an international-standard duty-free retail operation at the new terminal of Gan International Airport in Addu City.

The duty-free operation will adhere to globally recognized retail standards, positioning Gan Airport as a competitive gateway. The project is expected to generate employment opportunities for Maldivian youth, with selected staff undergoing specialized training. This move is part of broader government efforts to elevate Addu City within the global aviation network.
