IAS to Address High Prices for Domestic Flights

Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Mohamed Ameen said changes made to Island Aviation Services (IAS) would bring favourable outcomes for domestic flight prices, speaking at a press conference on his ministry's first 40 days in government. He attributed the price rises to the previous administration's policies and said IAS management has been changed and is undergoing administrative restructuring, with prices expected to change through wide-body aircraft operations, international opportunities and the administration's 'Week 14' policies.
