Where these numbers come from
Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modeled number pass for a filed one.
Every figure above was computed for Bucharest to Malé on September 11, 2026: 6619 km of route against 6426 km in a straight line, 5 services a day, 1 operators, a cheapest fare of €536.45, and 11h 59m door to door on the fastest mode.

Our job ends at the platform. What fills the days in Malé afterward does not belong to us.
