History Gan International Airport

First built by the Royal Navy (RN) for its Fleet Air Arm (FAA), it was subsequently transferred to the Royal Air Force (RAF), becoming Royal Air Force Station Gan, commonly known merely as RAF Gan. It was a British military airbase, used as a staging post for RAF aircraft transiting to the Far East during World War II, until 1976. The first aircraft, an RAF Westland Walrus biplane landed on the crushed coral runway of Gan on 8 February 1943. In 1976, the RAF left Gan, having no further need for its facilities, and handed it back to the Maldives government. After a period of abandonment, the island and airfield was left to fall into disrepair for many years. Funding was subsequently found to develop the island, and it then became a civilian domestic airport.

Current Use Gan International Airport

Gan Airport (in its civilian incarnation) was originally run by the Government of Maldives (GoM), with technical assistance from Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) until January 2010. In June 2009, a public enterprise by the name of Gan Airport Company Limited (GACL) was established by H.E. President Mohamed Nasheed as part of GoM's privatization policy. GACL took over management of Gan Airport in January 2010.

To promote tourism and other economic activity in the south Maldives, a new venture was formed early in 2012 to further develop and expand Gan Airport to international airport standard. A joint venture was formed between GACL, MACL, and State Trading Organization Plc (STO). Renaming to Gan International Airport (GIA), the new venture is Addu International Airport Private Limited (AIA), which now owns and manages Gan International Airport. As of 2020, 70% of AIA is held by the government of Maldives, and 30% by KASA Holdings Private Limited.
