Small Noonu island. Maafaru International Airport (commissioned 1 December 2019) was built with a USD 60M+ Abu Dhabi Fund for Development grant; the airport is now positioned as the country's private-jet hub. Ongoing public scrutiny of its predominantly tourist-transit use vs. resident benefit.

Public-benefit accounting for Maafaru International Airport (since commissioning)
Petition asks MIA and the Ministry of Finance to publish a year-by-year public-benefit accounting since 1 December 2019 commissioning: passenger split by type (with private-jet share), per-flight resort-transit revenue, council revenue share under the FY24 schedule, and verified employment statistics for Noonu residents. Public reporting to date covers aggregate movements (250K+ passengers, 9K+ flights through July 2025) but not per-island benefit.
