Beond introduces Apple Pay for seamless bookings

Beond, the boutique all-business-class airline based in the Maldives, has introduced Apple Pay as a booking option, offering agents and travellers a faster and more secure way to purchase flights. 

 

Now available, the payment service is fully integrated into the carrier’s booking platform and works across supported devices.

 

The launch comes as Beond prepares for a major expansion, with plans to triple its network over the next few years to 18 destinations linking Maldivian capital Malé with key cities across Europe, Asia, India and the Middle East. 

 

CEO and Chairman Tero Taskila said the addition of Apple Pay aligns with Beond’s promise of effortless travel. 

 

“Luxury is defined not only by what our guests experience onboard, but also by how seamless every step of their journey feels,” he said.

Entering service in November 2023, Beond now serves Dubai, Riyadh, Milan, Munich and Zurich from Malé, and also operates flights between Munich and Dubai.

 

Looking ahead, planned destinations include Kuwait, Bahrain, Jeddah and Abu Dhabi in the Middle East; Paris, Vienna, Düsseldorf, Rome and Warsaw in Europe; Bangkok, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in Asia; and Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad in India. 

 

All flights are operated with Airbus A321 aircraft configured with up to 68 fully lie-flat business-class seats. 

 

Beyond scheduled routes, Beond is also exploring Saudi Arabia’s charter market after the aviation regulator (GACA) opened the domestic private aviation sector to foreign operators.
