Maldivian to launch weekly non-stop Melbourne-to-Male flights in 2026, cutting travel time to 11 hours.
In 2026, Maldivian will launch weekly non-stop flights from Melbourne to Male, Maldives, reducing travel time to about 11 hours, down from over 20 hours with current stopovers.
The service, using an Airbus A330-200 with 263 seats, will begin with a six-month trial pending Australian approval, potentially becoming permanent based on demand.
The route reflects growing interest in South Asia, with Maldives hotel bookings up 17% and Sri Lanka seeing nearly 19% more Australian visitors in 2025.
Western Sydney International Airport will also launch new routes in 2026, supported by a $41 million state aviation incentive fund.
