Gan International Airport is the airport serving Addu City, located on the island of Gan nearby. First built by the British Royal Navy, and transferred to the Royal Air Force as RAF Gan, the Gan International Airport was originally a military airbase built during World War II and commissioned until the 1970s. The United Kingdom transferred ownership to the government of the Maldives, and it was converted for use as a domestic airport. Recently the airport was upgraded to international standards with the opening of tourist resorts in the area. Now Gan international Airport caters to both domestic, international airlines and private jets.
At the moment, Gan international airport is connected by SriLankan Airlines via Colombo. More international airlines are expected to begin operations in the near future.
