Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) has completed the reclamation of 15 hectares of land at Giraavaru Falhu, representing 15.44 percent of the 97.15 hectares under its scope of works which commenced on 30 January 2026. A total of 167.15 hectares planned to be reclaimed from Giraavaru Falhu, with MACL responsible for reclaiming 97.15 hectares of the overall project area.
