Mat or Maldivian Air Taxi is a seaplane operator in Maldives and I use this service very often to travel to different resorts in Maldives. MAT has a counter at the Male’ International Airport where you can check-in and you get your boarding pass. The MAT airport is bit away from the Male’ International Airport but in the same Island.
Once you check-in you are taken to a bus which you can see in the picture, and the luggage is taken in a separate van to the airport where there is an excellent lounge.
Usually the flights are scheduled according to the arrival of the International flights. These flights operates only during daylight.
MAT also provides services to other remote island and you can even charter a MAT for your personal use.
If you happen to come to Maldives, make sure that you use this service. The flights used are the Dehavilland Twin Otters which are believed to be very strong and ideal for place like Maldives.
