Maldives Airports Company Limited is the leading airport operator in the Maldives with the largest International Airports in the country under its management. The company is a 100% government-owned limited liability company governed by a Board of Directors appointed by the President of the Maldives. The Corporate Office of MACL is on the island of Hulhule', the Republic of Maldives.
The establishment of MACL came through various government departments which had been responsible in the past for the operation of Hulhule' Airport. Hulhule Airport was opened on 12 April 1966 and the government created Airport Office to manage Hulhule Airport. Since then Hulhule Airport has undergone various development phases and Male’ International Airport (MIA) was opened as the first international airport on 11th November 1981 with the provision of essential services and the airport office was replaced by Maldives Airports Authority.
With the rapid growth of MIA, the need for a commercial entity to manage the airport was recognized, thus on 1 January 1994, the government detached MAA establishment as a separate commercial entity rather than part of the government administration, and subsequently, MAA was incorporated into Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) as a limited liability company effective on 1 August 2000.
