A new all-business class airline promising a 'private jet' experience is launching flights to the Maldives using Airbus aircraft with lie-flat beds
- Maldives-based Beond is a new all-business class airline launching flights next month.
- The carrier will fly between Malé and cities across Europe and Asia, with return fares starting at $2,000.
- Beond is starting with one Airbus A319, which sports lie-flat seats but will make a stop for fuel on some routes.
The Maldives is about to get a little more accessible.
Dubbing itself the world’s first “premium leisure” airline, Maldives-based startup carrier Beond is launching point-to-point flights between cities across Europe and Asia and the nation’s capital of Malé starting in November.
At a press conference in Dubai on Wednesday, the new luxury airline unveiled its first plane: an Airbus A319, complete with a unique all-business-class interior. The company said it expects to receive Airbus A321 jets next year.
Take a look at what customers can expect onboard the airline’s newly unveiled A319, which has been customized to offer a “private jet” experience.
