Your journey begins at Velana International Airport (MLE), the gateway to the Maldives and a remarkably beautiful departure point surrounded by brilliant blue water. Enjoy a comfortable travel experience at this easy-to-navigate international hub.
Getting to the airport involves travelling on water since it's located on its own island, without land connections to Malé city. Speedboats are the most common mode of transport, alongside local water taxis known as dhonis, which bring you directly to the terminal. You can also take a transfer by seaplane.
Once inside the terminal, you'll find several facilities to explore before your flight. You can relax in the lounge area or browse retail outlets for any last-minute purchases. Shop local goods, luxury accessories, perfume and jewellery. Stay connected using the complimentary internet kiosks situated in the duty-free area, near gates 1, 2 and 3. You can easily find the prayer room inside the terminal, or access one of the two mosques just five minutes’ walk from the airport.
Toulouse is affectionately known as ‘La Ville Rose’ for its distinctive terracotta brick buildings. A dynamic destination, it’s the capital of the Occitanie region and Europe’s aerospace hub. As you explore this lively metropolis, you'’ll be welcomed by a warm, southern French rhythm.
Start in the expansive Place du Capitole, the beating heart of the city, dominated by the majestic Capitole de Toulouse city hall. For a taste of the region’s famous gastronomy, you must visit the bustling Victor Hugo market and try local specialities such as cassoulet.
To experience Toulouse’s modern flair, venture out to the Cité de l’Espace or the Aeroscopia Museum. Here, you can delve into the world of space and aviation, an industry for which Toulouse is internationally renowned. End your trip by admiring the city’s characteristic pink-hued architecture along the Garonne River, as you cross the historic Pont Neuf.
