About Meedhupparu water aerodrome
Meedhupparu Seaplane Base (VR-MEP) serves Meedhupparu in Raa Atoll, with seaplane services operated by Trans Maldivian Airways. It lies about 153 km (83 nm) from Malé, roughly 60 minutes by seaplane. It is also known as Adaaran Select Meedhupparu.
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.
