President Muizzu Announces Development of Nine Additional Airports Across Maldives

President Mohamed Muizzu issued a presidential decree establishing economic policy to build nine additional airports across the Maldives, overriding former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's August 2023 policy and scrapping the Dhaalu Airport upgrade and a Vaavu Atoll airport. The decree also lists airports under development and continuing projects, and includes coastal tourism projects in Addu and Laamu atolls.
