Beond Airlines, the world’s first all-premium leisure airline, marked its first anniversary with a press conference unveiling ambitious plans for growth and new destinations.

Founded in January 2022 by aviation veterans Sascha Feuerherd, Max Nilov, and Tero Taskila, Beond Airlines aims to revolutionize leisure travel with an all-business class configuration. Operating without an economy class, the airline offers passengers a luxury travel experience featuring flatbed seating on every flight.

Currently, Beond Airlines connects the Maldives’ Velana International Airport to global destinations including Dubai, Riyadh, Munich, Milan, and Zurich. With its hub at Dubai World Central (DWC), the airline already serves travelers from both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The airline is now considering two additional Middle Eastern destinations—Abu Dhabi and Jeddah. Adding Abu Dhabi would strengthen Beond’s presence in the UAE, catering directly to its high-end travel market. Expanding into Jeddah reflects the growing appeal of Saudi Arabia as a luxury travel destination.

Details regarding these routes are expected to be confirmed soon.

Since its inception, Beond Airlines has distinguished itself by offering a seamless blend of luxury and leisure travel. Its focus on premium service has attracted discerning travelers looking for an unparalleled experience.
