This popular airline has a direct flight that takes off at 2:20AM from Istanbul Airport and gets to MLE at 12:20PM.

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Istanbul Airport to Velana Intl. Airport (MLE) last minute?
Booking your journey from Ataturk Intl. Airport (IST) to Malé Intl. Airport last minute could save you cash if you strike it lucky and find a terrific deal. However, fares usually don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. If you choose to wait, flights could also be sold out or the best seats taken (because who wants the middle seat?). If you'd rather err on the side of caution, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. In fact, some of the best deals are available on Expedia up to 12 months in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its fares yet, check back regularly as offers are updated on Expedia constantly.
What airports do you fly into for Malé from Istanbul?
Flights from Istanbul to Malé touch down at Velana Intl. Airport (MLE). Roughly 2 kilometers northeast of central Malé, it's the main entryway to this exciting city. When you're ready to begin exploring, Maldives Islamic Centre and Vadoo Beach should be at the top of your must-see list.
What are the most popular departure times for flights from Istanbul Airport to Velana Intl. Airport (MLE)?
The most popular departure times for journeys from ISL to Malé International Airport fall between 2:00 AM - 3:00 AM on Turkish Airlines. Our recommendation is to take off in the morning. The earlier you do, the better your odds of a delay-free flight as air traffic hasn't yet built up around airports.
