After watching this video, I feel like I spent the whole day in the Maldives. The sounds of waves, soft sand and emotional moments - all of them are perfectly conveyed in the frames. It's incredible the power such a beautiful place can have. It's definitely worth adding the Maldives to your list of places to visit in your life!

Fun fact: Many of these Twin Otters used to be with an airline in Guatemala. Used to fly these planes a lot at the time as they were the perfect aircraft for the dirt runways to visit Mayan ruins. They were all purchased in one big transaction years ago and they flew all the way from Guatemala to the Maldives. That's a long flight!

It is an amazing pretty well-oiled machine and even though we face a tough time with the change of monsoon season as you experienced, we nearly always get our passengers in & out. Great Video and a big thank you for sharing (it's definitely passing along all my pilot friends and colleagues)!

The World’s Largest, Busiest Seaplane Base in the world is actually located on Lakes Hood & Spenard in Anchorage Alaska. Home to more than 190 seaplane flights per day Lake Hood followed closely by Lake Spenard with 176 seaplane flights per day make up the LARGEST floatplane operation in the world and the airlines that operate there are the BUSIEST Seaplane Operators on earth Trans-Maldives is only the largest seaplane operator by total fleet size and not by much, Harbor Air located in Vancouver, BC, Canada 🇨🇦 is the Second Largest flying De Havilland Canada Twin Otter, Otter & Beaver aircraft and only 9 planes short of the largest by fleet size, the same can be said about Air Tindi also of Canada 🇨🇦 but from Yellowknife they fly De Havilland Canada being Twin Otter, Otter & Beaver Aircraft… Also you have Kenmore Air from Washington State 🇺🇸 only 10 short of the biggest flying DHC Classic Beaver, Turbine Beaver and Piper J3 Supercub with floats and finally the fifth largest operator Rust’s Flying Service, this sightseeing and primary transportation airline is essential to the remote geographical challenges of Alaska and headquartered on Lake Hood in Anchorage AK. I know a lot about seaplanes and I am working towards my seaplane PPL rating so excuse the long comment! Great video my friend! Cheers 🥂 Caleb’s Aviation 😊

I’ve spent two years in Maldives, back in 2007 working with international aid to reconstruct the country after the tsunami of December 2004. We would often use seaplanes to reach island communities nearby resorts. It’s amazing how much seaplane services have grown since then, that huge terminal at Male airport wasn’t there and TMA’s fleet was probably half of what it is today.
