President Abdulla Yameen has pledged to develop an airport near N. Velidhoo.

Speaking at a campaign event in Velidhoo, President Yameen said that, if he was elected for a second term, he will develop an airport in Vihafaru within two years to make it convenient for both Velidhoo and Holhudhoo residents.

President Yameen urged the Velidhoo residents to give him the opportunity, claiming that the opposition will be ineffectual and would not even be able to make such promises.

He said that the next time he meets with the Velidhoo residents is at the newly developed airport in Vihafaru.
