President Mohammed Muizzu has said that the Maavarulu Airport near Gaddhoo in Gaafu Dhaalu atoll will be developed and the two islands will be connected by road.
..."Increase flight frequency. It is linked with tourism. We cannot increase flights unless through tourism. Therefore, the development of the entire atoll is linked to making airports functional or feasible." He said efforts would be made to expand tourism and bring development to Gaafu Dhaalu atoll.
...Interestingly, Addu Channel, between this atoll and Addu, is a rare point on the globe itself as it marks the equatorial crossing. While Maldives is one of the few countries that span across the Equator, Gaafu Dhaalu atoll, or Huvadhoo atoll, just 50 kms away from the Equator, has several chains of uninhabited islands that is unique to the country’s geography.
