The 'Airport Shuttle' from Male island.
Entrance to the international departure hall.
Apparently a new terminal is being built.
Lets have a look at the departures for the day. Mainly domestic departures in the afternoon...
with more international departures in the evening hours.
I had done a mobile online check-in earlier (the website check-in is not working for my agent booked itinerary...) and thus proceeded the internet check-in counters with no queues.
View of the check-in area. Went through immigration and security with no hassles.
My boarding pass. The Maldivian departure immigration stamp is cute!
Grabbed a quick bite at the airport cafe (with not too ridiculous prices) and proceeded down a level to the waiting lounge. Reminded me of KL's LCCT Terminal!
Departure gate 3. Again, most passengers are PRC nationals, transiting in Singapore. However the load seemed quite light, probably around 50% full.
Mega Maldives B763 arriving from a Chinese city.
Boarding was announced by rows and it was again a long walk to the plane in the sun. Not that I minded!!
