Funadhoo Airport guide

Funadhoo Airport (ICAO VRCF) is a domestic airport on Funadhoo island in Shaviyani Atoll, in the northern Maldives. It is the first airport in the atoll. Before it opened, residents and visitors reached the island by sea.

The government built the airport on land reclaimed from the lagoon on the northern side of the island. Reclamation covered 21 hectares and finished in March 2018. Runway paving followed, at a project cost of about USD 5.7 million. The first test flight landed on 24 January 2020, and scheduled Maldivian flights to Malé began in February 2020.

Regional Airports Company Limited operates the airport, and Island Aviation Services handles ground services. It has a single asphalt runway and a small apron beside the terminal building. Maldivian is the scheduled carrier, with flights to Velana International Airport in Malé. Most travellers continue from Funadhoo to guesthouses and resorts in the atoll by speedboat.
