BEOND Unveils Second Aircraft, Celebrates First Anniversary in Premium Airline Market

 BEOND, Maldives' first premium airline, marked its one-year anniversary on Wednesday, October 17, 2024, with the unveiling of its second aircraft, an Airbus A321. This significant addition to its fleet underscores the airline’s ambition to provide world-class luxury travel for its customers and strengthen its position as a leading premium leisure airline.

The new A321 aircraft, featuring 68 lie-flat seats, promises to elevate the passenger experience with unparalleled comfort and service on Beond’s growing route network. The aircraft is adorned with the airline’s signature dark grey and copper livery, continuing Beond’s commitment to delivering a stylish and premium service for modern travelers. The latest addition is poised to serve passengers across key destinations, including Milan, Zurich, Munich, Riyadh, and Dubai, further enhancing the airline’s operational readiness.

Beond’s journey began in November 2023, with the launch of commercial services using its first aircraft, an Airbus A319, which featured 44 all-lie-flat seats. Since then, the airline has been connecting the Maldives to major cities across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The unveiling of the second aircraft is part of Beond's broader expansion strategy, which includes new routes from Europe, Dubai, and Bangkok to the Maldives. The airline also secured authorization to fly passengers between Zurich, Switzerland, and the UAE, reflecting growing confidence in its vision.

Beond, a joint venture between the investment firm Arabesque and Maldivian hospitality company SIMDI Group, was created to cater to a niche market of premium travelers seeking tailored experiences. With innovative aviation technology and luxury services, Beond is positioning itself as a leader in the premium leisure sector, offering a unique blend of comfort and elegance for discerning passengers.

As Beond continues to grow, its fleet expansion highlights the airline’s ongoing commitment to delivering the best in luxury air travel, ensuring a seamless and refined experience for all who fly with them.
