history
Maldivian was founded on April 13, 2000 as Island Aviation Services by the government of the Maldives. The state still owns all of the shares, making it the only state airline in the country. Since August 25, 2008, the company has been operating under the Maldivian brand identity . Along with Trans Maldivian Airways, it is also the only airline in the country that offers domestic services with land planes.
