NOTE<br />
Welcome to the 19th issue of Inflight.<br />
As you fly over the beautiful atolls and islands<br />
of the Maldives, take some time to take a<br />
deeper look at the country and <strong>Maldivian</strong><br />
<strong>Air</strong> <strong>Taxi</strong>. We have presented for your reading<br />
pleasure, a range of exciting articles by<br />
writers who have lived and worked in the<br />
Maldives.<br />
Adrian Neville has been writing about the<br />
Maldives since the 1990s. His article on<br />
resorts’ unique selling points (USPs) over the<br />
years offers a casual view of how resorts of<br />
the Maldives have evolved. Along the same<br />
theme but from a different perspective in<br />
‘Extreme Repeaters’ by Verena Wiesbauer Ali<br />
two ‘extreme repeaters’ take us back to the<br />
days when tourism first began in the Maldives<br />
and how they view the changes that have<br />
taken place since.<br />
Both Rob McIntyre and Mads Wallentin are<br />
pilots. While Rob has returned home after his<br />
tenure, Mads is still with <strong>Maldivian</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Taxi</strong>.<br />
Mads and Rob offer some unique insights<br />
into different aspects of their experiences with<br />
<strong>Maldivian</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Taxi</strong> and the Maldives.<br />
With such a unique geography, the<br />
environment and marine ecology are of<br />
paramount importance for the Maldives.<br />
Verena’s second article is about the flora of<br />
Maldives in ‘Paradise above and below the<br />
water’s surface”.Sarah Harvey presents two<br />
interesting articles; one on the serious work<br />
of turtle conservation in the resorts and the<br />
other on her very own experience of night<br />
snorkeling.<br />
Enjoy!<br />
