Beond Airlines has announced the lease and receipt of a new aircraft for expanded services to the Maldives.
The Airbus A321 aircraft is currently undergoing reconfiguration to seat 68 customers in an all-business class lie-flat layout.
The aircraft will sport Beond’s signature dark grey and copper livery.
In November 2023, Beond successfully launched commercial passenger services from Munich, Zurich, and Riyadh to Malé with the airline’s first aircraft, an A319 that seats 44 passengers.
The second aircraft will support the airline’s expansion to add Milan, Dubai and Bangkok to its network in mid-2024.
“We are pleased to accept delivery of our second aircraft. Our new customers in Milan, Dubai, and Bangkok will be impressed to see this stunning aircraft at their home airports, and they’ll be thrilled at the service from the start to finish of their journey,” said Beond chairman and CEO, Tero Taskila.
“We are firmly on track to operate 32 luxurious aircraft with a private jet feel within the next five years, delivering on the promise of our ground-breaking business model in the airline industry and pioneering experience for passengers. Beond team’s decades of experience has allowed us to build the best experience in the sky,” Taskila added.
