TRAVELLERS exiting the Maldives will have to pay a US$25 Airport Development Fee (ADF) on top of their airfares starting next year.
The ADF will be levied from January 1 by GMR Male International Airport, which manages the Maldives’ international airport.
A company official was quoted by Maldives-based Haveeru Online as saying that the fee is to be included in airfares of passengers leaving the Maldives.
“We’ve given the notice six months before in order to give enough time for the airlines to prepare,” the official said.
