E. AIR TRAVEL SUPPORT The table below summarizes critical issues in regard to air travel support for the tourism sector. Constraint Insufficient investment in airport navigation and safety equipment Need Survey the needs and requirements in respect of navigational, safety and other support facilities at Male’ International Airport to ensure top-class airport and aviation facilities to service international air services. Survey options for attracting more scheduled commercial flights through invitation of high profile aircraft operators such as like Virgin, or through financial guarantees for certain agreed load factors Detailed analysis required of current proposal to establish a national airline jointly with the private sector and a foreign airline to avoid waste of investment Two regional airports are built at high standards with 1,200 m tarred runway. But this is insufficient for long haul carriers There are few airstrips at atoll level to distribute tourist arriving at Male’ or (in the future) from regional airports, which has led to the use of amphibian planes to service the resorts. Insufficient coordination in use of aircraft between wheel-based Island Aviation Services and the two domestic charter airlines, both using same types of seaplanes Regional airports should be upgraded to handle international wide-bodied aircraft, i.e. the runways extended and navigational and safety equipment up-graded, in step with the development of tourism resorts in the regions. Survey the options for establishing more and cheaper regional airports or airstrips suitable for smaller STOL (short take off and landing) aircraft. Survey the options for standardizing the aircraft used by both the public and private domestic airlines. 115
Main Recommendation No. 5: review air travel support needs There is need for a comprehensive appraisal of air travel support for the tourism sector. The following are among the key issues to be taken into account. a) Possibilities for attracting more scheduled commercial flights through invitation of high profile aircraft operators, or through financial guarantees for certain agreed load factors, or through other means. b) Detailed analysis of the feasibility of establishing a national airline, in cooperation with the private sector and a foreign airline, or otherwise. c) Assessment of the needs and requirements in respect of navigational, safety and other support facilities at Male’ International Airport to ensure top-class airport and aviation facilities to service international air services. d) Survey the options for establishing more and cheaper regional airports or airstrips suitable for smaller STOL (short take off and landing) aircraft. e) Study the options for standardizing the aircraft used by both the public and private domestic airline. 116
