Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA) has added the last of five additional seaplanes to its existing fleet of 52 aircraft, marking the airline's most aggressive expansion drive in its more than 30 year history. The first new aircraft arrived on 26 September last year, the second and third aircraft came together on 29 December and the fourth on 21 January this year.

The fleet size now stands at 57 DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft, making it the largest seaplane fleet in the world. TMA is considered to be the backbone of tourism infrastructure in the Maldives and has always played a pivotal role in enhancing and facilitating the growth of the industry over the years. It is expected that with these latest fleet additions, the company will be better equipped to serve increasing demand across upcoming resorts, and also provide added flexibility to all its partner resorts.
