About Amilla Fushi water aerodrome
Amilla Fushi Seaplane Base (VR-AFQ) serves Amilla Fushi on Finolhas in Baa Atoll, with seaplane services operated by Manta Air. The aerodrome has 1 platform for passenger transfer. It lies about 125 km (67 nm) from Malé, roughly 50 minutes by seaplane. It is also known as Amilla Maldives.
Like all water aerodromes in the Maldives, operations are daytime VFR only, and conditions on the water — wind, sea state, and tide — decide whether a departure or arrival is comfortable, marginal, or off. Seavion tracks wind and sea state live, refreshed every 15 minutes from MMS, METAR, and marine forecast sources, with modelled tide levels alongside.
Seaplane travel here follows the Maldives' two monsoon seasons. The northeast monsoon (iruvai, roughly December to April) generally brings drier, calmer weather, while the southwest monsoon (hulhangu, roughly May to November) tends to be wetter with stronger winds. Conditions vary day to day.
