When a resort opening slips, a chiller fails or a spare part grounds a vessel, sea freight is no longer an option. Our air freight desk books directly with carriers serving Velana International Airport (MLE) and through IATA partner agents in every major origin market, so your cargo takes the first available uplift rather than the first convenient one.
We handle the whole movement: pickup at origin, export clearance, airline booking, AWB issuance, arrival handling in Malé, Maldives Customs clearance and final delivery to your warehouse, harbour or seaplane terminal. One team, one waybill, one point of contact.
What is included
General & express consolidations
Weekly consolidations from Dubai, Colombo, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Guangzhou and Istanbul with back-to-back house air waybills and a fixed cut-off you can plan around.

DGR-certified documentation and packing checks, IATA-compliant labelling, and segregated handling for pharmaceuticals, lithium batteries and high-value consignments.

Round-the-clock desk for aircraft-on-ground, marine spares and hospital equipment, including hand-carry and next-flight-out where the schedule demands it.
Charter & part-charter
Full freighter and part-charter solutions for outsize project cargo, event equipment and relief loads that will not fit a scheduled belly-hold.
