Luxury Airline Launches Exclusive Flights to Maldives

Beond, a new airline, plans to offer a "private jet" experience to travelers flying to the Maldives by using narrow-body aircraft and offering an all-premium cabin with lie-flat seats. The airline aims to fly customers directly to the island, targeting airports with big catchment areas and a higher incidence of leisure travelers. Beond will initially operate a small fleet of Airbus A319 aircraft before switching to the larger Airbus A321. The airline plans to offer around 20 destinations in Europe and expand to Asian routes, Australia, and South Africa. With a focus on luxury and comfort, Beond aims to attract premium travelers who desire a private jet experience at an attractive price point.
