‘Almost 40 million Rufiya has been spent to upgrade Gan airport for the upcoming SAARC heads of state summit’ says Mohamed Didi, the managing director of Gan Airport Company Limited (GACL). ‘The financiers initially budgeted 30 million Rufiya for the project, but the latest estimate suggests the cost involves almost 40 million Rufiya’ said Didi.     

Gan airport renovations were financed by GACL and Addu International Airport Company Limited, the company first created to run the airport.

Gan airport will specially be utilised for flight operations related to SAARC summit and newly built duty free shops have been opened to passengers.
