Air Maldives

Air Maldives has not announced any plans to equip its aircraft with Starlink satellite internet connectivity. The carrier currently operates without inflight WiFi on its fleet, which serves routes connecting the Maldives with regional destinations across South Asia and the Indian Ocean. Passengers travelling on Air Maldives flights should expect a traditional inflight experience without internet access during their journey. The absence of connectivity infrastructure reflects the operational priorities common among smaller regional carriers, where short to medium-haul route networks and cost considerations often take precedence over cabin technology investments. As Starlink continues to gain traction among airlines worldwide—driven by the system's high-speed, low-latency performance and competitive pricing structure—regional carriers face increasing passenger expectations for connectivity even on shorter flights. Whether Air Maldives will eventually join the growing number of airlines adopting Starlink remains uncertain. The technology has proven particularly attractive to carriers seeking to differentiate their passenger experience and meet the connectivity demands of modern travellers. For now, passengers flying Air Maldives should plan accordingly by downloading entertainment, completing work offline, or preparing for a digital detox during their flight.
