It is not mentioned about what facilities are available in aircraft livery lounges but there is a mention of increased number of airline brands offering high quality service.
The airport has a limited range of international flights that connect to destinations primarily within the ACI region but this will ideally increase with the introduction of new airlines to Maldives from different regions such as Europe, North America and Asia.
In terms of cargo there have been increases in heavy transport since 2011 although overall cargo operations have been flat due to infrastructure constraints and low levels of demand in some cases.
