The centre was opened by Maldives Tourism Minister Moosa Zameer who said the ATSC would make travel smoother for the passengers with AirAsia's vast network choices and affordable fares.

"I congratulate AirAsia and its local partner, All H Maldives Private Limited and this partnership are example of opportunities available to the private sector that will drive the engine of Maldives Aviation sector," he said.
