Beyond has announced the lease and receipt of a new aircraft, an A321, to support the premium leisure airline’s expansion on a route to the airline’s first hub in the Maldives.
The A321 is the second aircraft to join the luxury carrier’s portfolio and is currently undergoing a reconfiguration to accommodate 68 passengers in an all-flat seating configuration. “Our new customers in Milan, Dubai, and Bangkok will be impressed to see this stunning aircraft at their home airports, and they’ll be thrilled at the service from the start to finish of their journey,” said Beond’s chairman and CEO Tero Taskila.
Beyond competed a $31 million pre-series A funding round in December 2023, and launched a $25 million series A funding round. It currently operates from Munich, Zurich and Riyadh using its 44-passenger A319.
Taskila added that Beyond are “firmly on track to operate 32 luxurious aircraft with a private jet feel within the next five years, delivering on the promise of [its] ground-breaking business model in the airline industry”.
