Manta Air is gearing up for a transformative year in 2025, reinforcing its reputation as the Maldives’ fastest-growing airline. With a strong focus on expansion and innovation, the airline has taken a significant step forward by introducing the first DHC-6 Twin Otter seaplane of the year into its fleet. This latest addition, equipped with the state-of-the-art Garmin G950 NXi integrated flight deck avionics and weather radar, highlights Manta Air’s continuous efforts to enhance operational efficiency and passenger experience.


The airline’s commitment to growth remains steadfast, with plans to further expand its fleet throughout the year. By the end of January, another DHC-6 Twin Otter seaplane will join the fleet, followed by three more aircraft arriving before the third quarter of 2025. These strategic enhancements will enable Manta Air to cater to the increasing demand for premium air travel across the Maldives, solidifying its position as a leading player in the industry.


Since its inception in 2019, Manta Air has steadily expanded its network, currently serving over 35 resorts with both seaplane and ATR domestic operations. The company’s growth strategy is firmly rooted in its dedication to providing unparalleled service, ensuring travelers enjoy a seamless and comfortable journey.


CEO Mohamed Khaleel expressed his enthusiasm for this latest milestone, stating, “The arrival of our newest seaplane reaffirms Manta Air’s dedication to revolutionizing air travel in the Maldives. We remain committed to enhancing our fleet and services to better serve our valued customers. Our ongoing expansion reflects our mission to innovate and elevate the travel experience.”


As Manta Air continues to prioritize customer satisfaction and operational excellence, these fleet expansions will play a crucial role in shaping the airline’s future. With a clear vision for 2025 and beyond, Manta Air is well-positioned to maintain its rapid growth trajectory while delivering top-tier services to its passengers.
