 Seaplanes in the Maldives
David flew for the floatplane operator Maldivian Air Taxi, and I flew for the upstart Hummingbird Island Airways.
Kit Chambers would not have described the air service he started as an upstart company, but when he first turned a blade it was a rotor blade and the idea of flying floatplanes had not yet been introduced.
MAT bettered that by offering "door to door" service where they could land the floatplanes right into the individual lagoons of each resort, thus eliminating the often long and trying boat rides from the helipads.

Maldivians pay far above normal prices for basic goods and services, (and, most noticeably for the transport sector, fuel) because it costs so much to transport them.
Although foreign airlines still exist to provide international flights, the internal carriers Maldivian Air Taxi and Trans-Maldivian are now alone in serving the tourist sector with seaplane travel – but most services are dedicated to tourism and not the needs of inhabited islands.
Qasim also holds shares in one of the domestic airlines, Trans Maldivian Airlines (TMA), and it is possible that once the airport becomes operational TMA may start operating lightweight aircraft to and from the island.

 GN Online: Colombo to ask LTTE for flight path of its leader
This had, however, not been notified to the navy nor the air force based in the eastern command at Trincomalee because the rebel leader's flight was to leave the island for nearby Maldives via the north-west coast, from where Balasingham arrived nearly a month ago to meet Prabhakaran.
Navy's eastern command radioed their colleagues in the air force that an unidentified aircraft was flying low over the area where the rebel boats had been sequestered, following which the air force had contacted Colombo for instructions as its air squadrons scrambled to engage the sea-plane.
A major disaster was averted by the air force high command in Colombo asking its eastern command to allow the aircraft to be left alone, but the incident has been taken up at the highest levels in Colombo.

 Seaplanes & Salt Water; To Operate or Not to Operate?
The success of companies such as Maldivian Air Taxi in the Maldives, and the longevity of Turtle Airways in Fiji, proves that such seaplane transfer companies can operate out of the most salt laden oceans of the world as long as proper maintenance is performed routinely.
According to Wipaire, 70-80% of larger commercial amphibious floatplanes, such as the Caravan, are used in warm/humid salt-water environments.
The market for exclusive seaplane transfers from international airports of entry right to the doorsteps of waterfront resorts and hotels often depend on being able to operate in and out of salt water.
