Our services

Sandra Falzon is the Director of Concierge Services at Maldives Private Jet. She organises what a trip needs besides the flight itself: the transfer from the airport to the resort, catering on board, cars on the ground and bookings at the destination, arranged through partners. Sandra works in English and Spanish.

Maldives Private Jet is a charter broker: flights are operated by licensed air operators holding an Air Operator Certificate, and our consultants find and book the aircraft. Sandra is part of the Maldives Private Jet team, with offices in Malé, Zurich and Larnaca.

 

seaplanes used for resort transfers in the Maldives

 

Areas of responsibility

  • Transfers from Velana to the resort by seaplane, speedboat or domestic flight, agreed with the resort;
  • Catering on board to the client's menu;
  • Cars with a driver to and from the departure airport;
  • Resort and hotel bookings, and yacht charters in the Maldives;
  • Requests that do not fit a standard booking, discussed case by case.

 

Timing the resort transfer

The last part of the journey decides when the jet should land. Seaplanes of Trans Maldivian Airways fly only from sunrise to sunset, and the airline asks guests to arrive in the Maldives by 15:30 for a transfer on the same day. After a later landing, guests either stay overnight near the airport or continue by speedboat, if the resort is within reach by boat. Many resorts in more distant atolls are reached by a domestic flight and then a boat.

Sandra's team works back from the transfer: it checks the resort's transfer options and times the departure of the jet so that the guests catch the last suitable seaplane.

Baggage on seaplanesThe private jet takes far more luggage than the seaplane. Trans Maldivian Airways allows 20 kg of checked baggage and 5 kg of hand baggage per person, charges US$5 per extra kilogram plus taxes and accepts no single bag over 32 kg. Tell us about large cases, diving equipment or golf bags in advance so that the transfer can be planned for them.
