Four Seasons Expands Private Seaplane Fleet with Flying Boxfish

Guests travelling to the Four Seasons Resort
Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru can now enjoy a new arrival
experience, thanks to two new additions: The Flying Boxfish
seaplane and The Island Caf in the new Seaplane Terminal
at Velana International Airport (MLE).

The Flying Boxfish is the
second marine-inspired plane to take to the Maldivian sky as
part of Four Seasons private seaplane fleet, following the 2019
launch of its Picasso-inspired predecessor, The Flying
Triggerfish.

Four Seasons’ 10-seat DHC-6-300 Twin Otter Flying Boxfish

With a bold yellow and black spotted livery, the customised
10-seat DHC-6-300 Twin Otter Flying
Boxfish is a fun and certainly memorable option for private seaplane transfers from Velana International Airport to Landaa Giraavaru, a scenic
35-minute flight from Mal in the secluded Baa Atoll UNESCO World
Biosphere Reserve.

International arrivals can now
also experience Four Seasons service in The Island Caf: a retreat with
wrap-around balcony, revitalising dining options, areas for
lounging, dining, resting and refreshing, as well as a play area,
and an observation telescope to watch the seaplanes take off and
land.

The Island Caf isnt just an arrivals haven. As
seaplanes only fly during daylight hours, guests with late international departures can now take the last flight from Landaa and stay in The
Island Caf until their international check-in gate opens.
