The eight-passenger aircraft is designed for premium travel and can operate at night, offering an alternative to seaplane transfers, which are generally unavailable after dark. Its pressurised cabin also allows it to fly at higher altitudes than seaplanes.
Maldivian said the King Air 360 features advanced aviation technology and a refined cabin experience, adding that the aircraft would expand its premium travel services.
Island Aviation has said the service will also be accessible to businesses, private organisations and individuals. The airline plans to make bookings available through its online platform.
