Partnering with TMA will offer enhanced transfer convenience and overall experience, with three flights on Mondays and Saturdays, and two flights on other days.”

To complement this service, JA Manafaru ensures top-notch airport assistance, chauffeuring guests between terminals upon international arrival, and providing refreshments at TMA’s VIP seaplane lounge.
