About Emerald water aerodrome

Emerald Seaplane Base (VR-EMR) serves Emerald on Fasmendhoo in Raa Atoll, with seaplane services operated by Trans Maldivian Airways. The aerodrome has 2 floating platforms for passenger transfer.

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 those conditions live, refreshed every 15 minutes from MMS, METAR, and marine forecast sources.
