“We’re delighted to announce our interline partnership with Qatar Airways, through which our customers will experience seamless connectivity with international baggage allowance while traveling within our network of 17 Maldivian destinations. By offering more choice and better access to our strong and growing route network, we aim to drive tourism to the Maldives, showcasing our pristine islands to travelers from around the world,” said Maldives’ Chief Commercial Officer Ismail Amrah Umar.
