TMA has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1993, when it started out with just 2 aircrafts. It has rapidly grown since then, and has over 500,000 passengers using its services every year. Following its inception, TMA has become synonymous with connectivity in the Maldives. Currently, TMA operates to over 80 resorts across 14 atolls in the Maldives and is responsible for majority of the resort transfers. 

In addition to this, TMA is considered one of the most sought-after places to work in the  Maldives. The company has been pushing boundaries in creating skilled employment in the aviation and the  service sector in the country, and aspires to continue being a responsible partner to the holistic development  of the Maldives for years to come.

It is a proud achievement for the nation as a whole to see how the oldest air services operator in the Maldives has risen to become the largest seaplane operator in the world.
