About Beond

Beond (IATA: B4, ICAO: BYD) is a Maldivian premium leisure airline and the world's first all-business-class carrier dedicated to resort destinations. The airline was founded in November 2022 by Tero Taskila, Max Nilov, and Sascha Feuerherd as a joint venture between Arabesque, a global investment firm, and SIMDI Group, one of the Maldives' largest hospitality conglomerates. Beond is headquartered in Dubai and operates from its base at Velana International Airport (MLE) in Male, the capital of the Maldives.

The airline received its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) from the Maldives Civil Aviation Authority and commenced scheduled operations on 16 November 2023 with its inaugural Male to Munich service via a refuelling stop in Dubai. Beond positions itself as a premium leisure airline, offering an exclusive flying experience that blends the comfort of a private jet with the accessibility of scheduled service. Every seat on a Beond aircraft is a fully lie-flat business class seat designed by Italian aviation specialists Optimares, the same company behind the Four Seasons Private Jet seating.

For Malaysian travellers seeking a luxurious gateway to the Maldives, Beond offers a compelling alternative to traditional carriers. With its focus on personalised service, gourmet dining served on William Edwards fine bone china, and exceptional in-flight amenities, Beond has quickly established itself as a standout choice for discerning travellers heading to one of the world's most coveted holiday destinations. Booking through Traveloka lets you view fares in RM and pay with your preferred Malaysian payment method.

Airline Overview and History

Beond has rapidly established itself as a pioneering force in premium leisure aviation since its founding in late 2022. Below is a timeline of the airline's key milestones:

• November 2022: Beond is officially founded as a joint venture between Arabesque and SIMDI Group, with the vision of creating the world's first all-business-class leisure airline.
• August 2023: The airline's first aircraft, an Airbus A319 with registration 8Q-FBA, is delivered and configured with 44 lie-flat seats in a 2-2 layout.
• 16 November 2023: Beond launches its inaugural scheduled service, connecting Male with Munich via a refuelling stop in Dubai.
• Early 2024: The route network expands to include Zurich and Milan Malpensa, both served via Dubai.
• March 2024: A second aircraft, an Airbus A321 with registration 8Q-FBB, is delivered to the airline.
• September 2024: The A321 enters commercial service with 68 lie-flat seats in a 2-2 configuration, significantly boosting passenger capacity.
• 2024–2025: Beond adds Riyadh to its route network and announces ambitious expansion plans for 18 new destinations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent.
• 2026: The airline announces plans to launch London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle routes from December 2026, with increased frequencies on Zurich (five weekly) and Munich (four weekly) services.

Beond's hub at Velana International Airport provides a strategic gateway to the Maldives' 1,190 coral islands, home to some of the world's most exclusive resorts. The airline's leadership team brings decades of aviation experience: CEO and Chairman Tero Taskila previously held senior roles at Finnair, Qatar Airways, and Lufthansa, while Chief Strategy Officer Max Nilov has a background in strategic consulting for Boeing and other major aviation firms.

The airline's mission is to redefine premium leisure travel by delivering a private-jet-style experience at competitive price points. By focusing exclusively on resort and leisure destinations, Beond has carved out a unique niche in the competitive aviation landscape.

Fleet and Aircraft

Beond operates a compact but carefully configured fleet of Airbus narrow-body aircraft, each outfitted exclusively for all-business-class service. The fleet currently comprises:

• Airbus A319 (8Q-FBA): Configured with 44 fully lie-flat seats in a 2-2 layout. The seats were designed by Optimares, the Italian firm that also created the seating for the Four Seasons Private Jet. This aircraft joined the fleet in August 2023 and was the workhorse of Beond's inaugural operations.
• Airbus A321 (8Q-FBB): A larger aircraft configured with 68 fully lie-flat seats, also in a 2-2 layout. Delivered in March 2024 and entering commercial service in September 2024, the A321 significantly increased passenger capacity while maintaining the same premium cabin experience.

Both aircraft feature all-aisle-access seating in a spacious 2-2 configuration, ensuring every passenger enjoys direct aisle access. The lie-flat seats recline to a full 180 degrees, transforming into comfortable beds for long-haul sectors between the Maldives and Europe. Each seat includes USB and AC power outlets, personal stowage, and generous legroom.

Beond has announced plans to expand its fleet further as it grows its route network. The airline is exploring additional Airbus narrow-body and wide-body options to support planned routes to destinations across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Indian subcontinent, with a target of significantly scaling operations by the end of the decade.

Tips for Finding Cheap Flights on Traveloka

While Beond is a premium all-business-class airline, there are still ways to secure the best possible fares for your Maldives holiday. Here are some tips for finding great deals on Traveloka:

• Book early: Premium airline fares tend to increase as the departure date approaches. Booking your Beond flight at least 2 to 3 months in advance can help you lock in lower fares, especially during peak Maldives season from November to April.
• Use Price Alerts: Set up price alerts on Traveloka for your preferred Beond route. You will receive notifications when fares drop, allowing you to book at the optimal time.
• Travel during shoulder seasons: The Maldives shoulder seasons in May, early June, October, and early November often see lower airfares while still providing pleasant weather. The wet season (May to October) generally offers the lowest fares.
• Compare fare types: Beond offers three fare types — Delight, Bliss, and Opulence — each with different inclusions. If you do not need limousine transfers or lounge access, the Delight fare offers the most affordable entry point to the all-business-class experience.
• Check for promo codes: Traveloka regularly releases promotional codes and flash sale events. Check the Traveloka app and website frequently for limited-time offers.
• Be flexible with dates: If your travel dates are flexible, use Traveloka's calendar view to compare fares across different days. Midweek departures (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) often offer lower fares than weekend flights.
• Bundle flight and hotel: Booking your Beond flight together with a Maldives resort on Traveloka can unlock bundle discounts that are not available when booking each component separately.
• Use e-wallet promotions: Payment via Touch 'n Go eWallet, Boost, GrabPay, or ShopeePay sometimes comes with cashback offers or additional discounts when paying through Traveloka.
