Not to be confused with Air Maldives
This is a totally different airline which began in 1984 and died a few years later. Air Maldives was owned and operated by the Maldivian government, but Maldives Airways was a PLO venture begun when the PLO was flush with funds and President Gayyoom cozied to Yasser Arafat.

Other defunct Maldivian airlines
Please provide information about the following former airlines of the Maldives:

Maldives International Airlines. 1977 - 1979* (ICAO Code FZ) - There is very little information about this disappeared airline. Maybe it didn't even begin operations, but there were boards advertising it in Male' during the early 1980s.

Ocean Air (2001), an airline that was going to operate from Addu Atoll never got clearance from the government and its planes (Antonov An-24RV} lay in the tarmac at Colombo airport for a long time. & Mohonu 21:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Reference to an Inter Atoll Air and Seagull Airways is made here. Are they related to any of the current operators in Maldives? Sparkignitor 09:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

And it says here &, , &  Inter Atoll Air operated DHC-6 Twin Otter 300.!!! So Mohonu, i guess that adds one more to the list. :) Sparkignitor 10:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Not to be confused with Maldives International Airlines
There was never a "Maldives International Airways". The last change was made by someone confusing it with Maldives International Airlines. 1977 - 1979* (ICAO Code FZ), which is the one with the green round logo and white letters. Maldives International Airlines didn't have any planes. Contact records show that in the end there was one with Indian registration (VT-EFL), leased from Indian Airlines but it was never painted in the MIA livery. 

Maldives Airways is a totally different airline which began operation many years later, after this unoperative airline had disappeared. Mohonu (talk) 02:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
