MALDIVES CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY
PRESS RELEASE
There is a report being circulated in the media that a number of Maldivian airlines are unsafe.
This report is misleading.
Maldives' civil aviation safety standards are in accordance with those set by the International
Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO); the same standards which all countries of the world are required
to adhere to.
ICAO audits the safety arrangements of all member countries. Accordingly, last year ICAO had
audited this Authority, our airlines and other service providers. The audit showed that Maldivian civil
aviation's safety arrangements were up to the required standards.
In this respect, this Authority regularly audits all airlines to ensure their safety standards are
within ICAO standards and recommended practices.
Hence, given that Maldivian civil aviation's safety standards are within those set by ICAO' this
Authority urges the public not to be misled by such reports.
