I am almost positive it was SU. I even took a picture of it (it looks blue through the tainted windows of the Male BC lounge). Maybe it is a charter given the fact that they looked like a group of tourists only with a lot of children (what else would you do in the Maldives?
) I will check my picture and then I will be certain, but it was an old Ilyushin 86 and I remember it coming toward the lounge and then turning and I saw the old Aeroflot livery on it. Then I saw the last passengers boarding it through the under-belly retracting stairs as I boarded my UL A340 airplane.
