Beond has announced the lease of a new aircraft to expand its service offerings. The Airbus A321, currently being reconfigured with 68 lie-flat seats, will sport Beond’s signature livery and cater to discerning passengers seeking a luxurious travel experience to the Maldives.
This development follows Beond’s successful launch of flights from Munich, Zurich, and Riyadh, alongside recent funding rounds totalling $38 million. The expansion highlights growing confidence in Beond’s vision and operational success.
Beond Chairman and CEO, Tero Taskila, expressed enthusiasm about the new aircraft and its role in serving customers from Milan, Dubai, and Bangkok. He emphasized Beond’s commitment to delivering superior service throughout the passenger journey.
The new aircraft will support Beond’s planned mid-2024 expansion into the Milan, Dubai, and Bangkok markets, connecting these cities to the Maldives. Beond launched its initial commercial passenger services in November from Munich, Zurich, and Riyadh to Malé, utilizing an A319 aircraft with 44 lie-flat seats.
Taskila underlined Beond’s ambition to operate a fleet of 32 luxurious aircraft within the next five years, emphasizing its commitment to revolutionizing the airline industry and passenger experience.
