Environmental impact assessments have been approved for two airports without the reports being published or opened for comments, an NGO has claimed.
Save Maldives raised concerns about the projects in Maafaru and Funadhoo on Sunday, saying the Environmental Protection Agency had yet to make its findings public.
The EPA was unavailable for comment at the time of going to press.
Maafaru airport is part of a US$60 million (MVR924 million) agreement with the Abu Dhabi Fund to develop ultra-luxurious tourism in Noonu atoll.
