Maldivian Air Taxi

February 27, 2008 · Print This Article

Maldivian Air Taxi or what we commonly call is MAT which is a sea-plane service company in the Maldives. I am a frequent flyer of this as I need to travel to different resorts in Maldives for my official work. There are two Sea-plane service providers in the Maldives and the second one being the Trans Maldivian Airways or commonly called TMA. Both are excellent service providers and they connect the Male’ International Airport and the remote islands which are very far from the Airport. I had posted an article on the information on Maldivian Air Taxi an year back, but now the quality of the services has changed, the operations and the facilities had improved tremendously with the increasing flow of Tourists in the Maldives.

This is at a resort in Maldives, where the MAT is waiting for the guests to board. I was one among them. The sea plane are the Dehavilland Twin Otters from Canada. The pilots are mostly from Canada and now there are lots of Maldivian Pilots who are well trained flyers

    someone from the dca should regularly check the sea planes of maldivian air taxi, most of the planes are running in bad condition. even if the plane has a snag they would still allow the planes to fly which is a very dangerous threat to the passengers. and most of all manager’s of the maintenance department would persistently ask their engineers to sign the release of the planes and if something happens to the flight they would blame it all on the poor engineer who was forced to sign the papers!
