The code VAM marks Villa International Airport on Maamigili, a private-investment airfield in the southern Ari Atoll of the Maldives that opened in 2011 and has been licensed for international flights since 2013. ATR turboprops link the island to Malé and a handful of regional points, serving the dive resorts and whale-shark tourism that define this stretch of atoll. Its single 1,800-metre asphalt runway suits regional aircraft but offers no dedicated freight terminal, so VAM is not a cargo gateway. Shippers handling Maldivian air freight route through Velana International (MLE) near Malé, the country's sole consolidated cargo point. Anything bound for Maamigili itself typically arrives as belly load or onward by inter-atoll dhoni and speedboat.
