Male: Maldives will acquire a military aircraft next year, President Mohamed Muizzu said as he inaugurated the national defence force’s first dedicated air station.
“The landmark event formalises a key component of the island nation’s defence strategy, significantly expanding the capabilities of the newly constituted Air Corps,” state-run Public Service Media (PSM News) said. The Maldives National Defence Force’s (MNDF) Gan Air Station is located at the southernmost Addu city. “The Maldivian army has made progress in all areas,” Muizzu was quoted as saying by news portal Adhadhu. “Hopefully this coming year will be more progressive. We have already decided to get military aircraft for the Air Corps,”
