'''Haa Dhaalu Atoll''' is the code name based on the letters of the [[Maldivian alphabet]] commonly used to refer to the [[Administrative divisions of the Maldives|administrative division]] (known as [[Administrative divisions of the Maldives#Atoll|"Atoll"]]) officially known as '''South Thiladhunmathi Atoll''' ([[Maldivian language|Maldivian]]: ''Thiladhunmathi Dhekunuburi'') in the [[Maldives]].


The administrative division consists of the southern section of natural [[Atolls of Maldives|Thiladhunmathi Atoll]] (which is shared with [[North Thiladhunmathi (Haa Alifu) Atoll]]) and [[Makunudhoo (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Makunudhoo]] or Maamakunudhoo Atoll (Malcolm Atoll in the [[Admiralty Chart]]s) with its large reef.
'''Haa Dhaalu Atoll''' &ndash; officially referred as '''Thiladhunmathi Dhekunuburi''' ([[Southern Thiladhunmathi Atoll]]) is an administrative division of the Maldives. It is the southern section of [[Atolls of Maldives|Thiladhunmathi Atoll]], a natural [[atoll]] of the [[Maldives]].


The capital of the administrative division is [[Kulhudhuffushi (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Kulhudhuffushi]].
This administrative division includes the island of [[Makunudhoo (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Makunudhoo]] or Maamakunudhoo ('''Malcolm Atoll''' in the [[Admiralty Chart]]s) with its large reef, as well as the southern part of the larger Thiladhunmathi or Tiladummati Atoll. Thiladhunmathi was divided into its northern and southern divisions on May 21, 1958.


==Islands==
There is a domestic airport on the island of [[Hanimaadhoo (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Hanimaadhoo]] about 15&nbsp;km from its capital [[Kulhudhuffushi (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Kulhudhuffushi]]. Before Kulhudhuffushi, the island of [[Nolhivaranfaru (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Nolhivaranfaru]] was the capital of the atoll until May 6, 1992.

==History==
Thiladhunmathi Atoll was divided into northern and southern divisions on 21 May 1958, thus creating the South Thiladhunmathi Atoll administrative division. The northern part of the atoll became North Thiladhunmati Atoll.

The capital of South Thiladhunmathi Atoll was [[Nolhivaranfaru (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Nolhivaranfaru]] before it was moved to [[Kulhudhuffushi (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Kulhudhuffushi]] on May 6, 1992.

==Transport==
South Thiladhunmathi is linked by air with the Maldivian capital of [[Malé]] as there are two airports in the atoll. one in [[Hanimaadhoo (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Hanimaadhoo]], (which is an international airport) and a domestic airport in&nbsp;[[Kulhudhuffushi (Haa Dhaalu Atoll)|Kulhudhuffushi]]. As well as dhoani's are used for transportation of cargo and people between [[Malé]].
