Welcome Aboard<br />
2012 is the year in which Maldives is<br />
expecting to have more than one million<br />
arriving tourists for the first time. This is a<br />
doubling from 10 years ago, and who can<br />
be surprised. The beauty, serenity, and the<br />
uniqueness of this country is clear to all<br />
who know the Maldives, and will soon be<br />
for those of you who are visiting for the first<br />
time. Even with the growing popularity of<br />
this destination, do not worry about crowds.<br />
With over 1000 islands, hundreds of resorts,<br />
most of them being one island - one resort<br />
concept, Maldives never feels crowded. To<br />
me it is one of the most peaceful places on<br />
earth.<br />
<strong>Maldivian</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Taxi</strong> has since 1993 been<br />
an integral part of the Maldives tourism<br />
development. Earlier, resorts close and far<br />
from Male were served only by boats, and<br />
the transfers were often time consuming<br />
and at times uncomfortable. Today, a<br />
majority of the resorts in the country are<br />
served with a door to door (or dock to<br />
dock) service by seaplanes. Flying with us<br />
is an amazing way to start your vacation,<br />
see the beauty of this country from above,<br />
and then get to repeat the experience when<br />
it is time to travel home.<br />
Please do relax and enjoy your brief time on<br />
MALDIVIAN AIR TAXI<br />
board. Our fleet of 21 aircraft is maintained<br />
in accordance with the highest international<br />
standards, our flight crews are among the<br />
most experienced in the world, and the<br />
entire organization is designed to ensure the<br />
maximum safety and enjoyment of your trip.<br />
Thank you for choosing a destination served<br />
by <strong>Maldivian</strong> <strong>Air</strong> <strong>Taxi</strong>. I trust you will enjoy the<br />
experience.<br />
Hope to see you back soon again, and<br />
please do take this issue of InFlight with you<br />
back home as a memory of Maldives and this<br />
unique seaplane experience.<br />
Have a great and safe flight.<br />
