Maldivian delegates met the Indian authorities in New Delhi to discuss the bilateral air services agreement between the two countries.

As per the current agreement, the carrying capacity of flights to and from Maldives is limited to 150. The officials said, “India will relook the agreement which will help in boosting tourism between the two countries.”
