Maldivian Air Taxi is the largest domestic carrier in the Maldives and is also one of the largest seaplane operators in the world operating over 500 flights a week during the peak tourist season. With its humble beginnings in November 1993, with only two aircraft, MAT has grown in direct response to the opening of newly developed resorts that require seaplane transport services for their guests.
Based on the northern side of Male’ International Airport, Maldivian Air Taxi currently has a fleet of 24 Twin Otters, servicing 40 of the 90 resorts in the Maldives. In 2008 MAT has carried over half a million passengers on the distinctive red and white planes to some of the most picturesque locations in the country.
