## Description

Unlike the Maldives' busier fields, Maafaru International (NMF) was built around private jets rather than scheduled traffic. Financed by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development, it serves the luxury resorts of Noonu Atoll, letting high-end guests fly in directly instead of transferring at Malé. Cargo plays almost no part: there is no freight terminal, and goods arrive as belly loads or via Velana International (MLE). The airport's identity is firmly tied to upmarket tourism on a single atoll.
