Munich, Zurich as Beond airline’s first European launch cities to Maldives

Beond, the world’s first premium leisure airline, has announced that Munich and Zurich are the initial origin cities for the airline, flying to Malé, Maldives.

The inaugural flights are scheduled for November 2023, with the Munich inaugural departing November 15, and the Zurich inaugural departing November 17.

“We are thrilled to announce Munich and Zurich as launch cities for Beond. Our customers there will enjoy an incredible premium leisure experience on their way to Maldives, a beautiful destination. Our team is hard at work preparing for service launch with a goal to exceed every expectation of our first customers from the moment they book with us,” Beond’s Chief Commercial Officer Sascha Feuerherd said.

Beond will begin operations this fall with Maldives as its first hub. The service launch from Europe will begin with an Airbus A319 aircraft with 44 state-of-the-art lay-flat configuration, and a premium on-board experience including fine dining.

The airline recently received its Air Operator’s Certificate in Maldives from the Maldives Civil Aviation Authority.
