Seen from the air, the new terminal building of Velana International Airport in the Maldives, constructed by CHEC, resembles dancing ocean waves. The sandy-white structure harmonizes with the azure sea and sky, while its flowing ribbon design, together with the nearby China-Maldives Friendship Bridge, defines Male's modern skyline.
This new terminal increases annual passenger capacity from 2 million to 7 million, revolutionizing the travel experience with an intelligent baggage system, passenger-friendly security checks, and streamlined check-in services. Innovation is evident in every detail: low-radiation glass curtain walls enhance energy efficiency, and aerodynamic air conditioning adapts to the island climate. The integration of advanced Chinese technology with Maldivian traditional carvings beautifully embodies the cultural connection and mutual understanding.
Travelers have marveled: "This terminal makes a first impression of the Maldives even more captivating! This is a terminal truly worthy of the Maldives." With Chinese expertise, CCCC is creating a stunning aerial gateway for this jewel of the Indian Ocean.
