RACL Brings New Apron Into Service at Hanimadhoo International Airport

A new apron at Hanimadhoo International Airport, managed by Regional Airports Company Limited (RACL), was officially inaugurated with the landing of a Maldivian flight on Sunday. RACL said the 42,000 square-foot apron will be marketed as a jet parking facility and used as an isolation bay, while the wider upgrade project will add a runway, a terminal for 1.3 million passengers annually, and fuel storage facilities.
