It may be a theoretical low season in Maldives but I'm here now and hotels and flights are packed. There is no reason in August that they can't fill flights (if they wanted to) to Male.

Beond was in [quite a few] news recently in Taiwan, about launching 'direct' charter flights between Male and Taipei during 2026 Chinese New Year (Feb 2026). News says it's partnering with multiple travel agencies ... guess Taipei is one of those new destinations if it happens.
