Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox airline
BeOnd is a Maldivian airline[1] based in the capital of Maldives, Malé. It was founded by Max Nilov and Tero Taskila in November 2022. The airline is a joint venture formed by the Emirati investment firm Arabesque, and the Maldivian hospitality company SIMDI Group.[2][3] It plans to connect Maldives to multiple European and Asian countries with their cities, as well as to Australia.[4] It plans to operate to over 50 destinations in more than 25 countries with a fleet of over 30 aircraft in the next few years.[5]
History
The only way to enter Maldives from all countries is by air. At present, international airlines dominate operations at Velana International Airport, because Maldives, although has an existing flag carrier, Maldivian, it has a too small fleet to cater to the growth at the airport and to compete with international airlines, along with connecting more worldwide destinations.Шаблон:Cn Max Nilov, Tero Taskila (former executive of Lufthansa) and Sascha Feuerherd decided to create a new airline by forming a joint venture of two companies, Arabesque and SIMDI Group.[2]
The airline was expected to begin operations with a fleet of three Airbus A319 aircraft, along with an additional four to be leased from the aircraft leasing company BBAM.Шаблон:Citation needed In its Airbus A321 fleet the airline will have a seat configuration of 68 lie-flat seats in a 2-2 format.[6]
Initial destinations were disclosed to include Dubai, Delhi, Hong Kong, Milan, Munich, Paris, Riyadh, Singapore, Taipei, Vienna and Zürich and a potential connection to Perth and Melbourne, along with seasonal destinations such as Finland.[4][7][8] The airline was slated to begin commercial operations by September 2023.[9] The actual start was in November 2023.[10]
Destinations
As of December 2023, Beond serves the following destinations.[11] Additionally, Dubai-Al Maktoum is used as a fuel stop but not bookable as a destination.[13][11][12]
