Air services provider joins Beond to stimulate demand for new routes

Global air and travel services company Dnata is partnering with new premium airline Beond to boost connectivity between Dubai and its destination portfolio.

Dnata will support the newly launched airline to promote its services to UAE travellers.

Beond, which has its primary hub based at Velana International Airport in the Maldives, is one of the only global airlines to offer an all-business class service.

It currently operates two routes connecting Al Maktoum - Dubai World Central (DWC) with Male (MLE) in the Maldives and Zurich (ZRH) in Switzerland.

Optional extras offered by the airline include chauffeur transfers and airport lounge access. The carrier aims to serve 60 global destinations in the next five years, expanding its footprint across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Dnata Representation Services has been appointed as the general sales agent (GSA) for the airline in the UAE, with its team now providing a full range of travel services for Beond customers flying to and from Dubai.

Local infrastructure has been established for enhanced sales, marketing, and distribution support to cater to current demand and future routes.

Dnata Travel Group Vice President Global Air Services Simon Woodford said: “Across Dnata Travel Group brands, we continue to see increased demand for business and first-class travel from the UAE.

“We are delighted to partner with Beond as the airline’s premium offering enhances connectivity from Dubai to popular leisure travel destinations.”

Dhaz Hunjan, CCO of Beond, added: “We look forward to establishing the unique, private-jet style experience that Beond offers travellers from Dubai, working with Dnata.

“With a long track record of local excellence, its team understands our vision to deliver a luxury experience unlike any other between the UAE and Maldives, and destinations farther afield.”

Beond is now operating four flights per week from Dubai (DWC) to the Maldives (MLE) and two flights per week between Dubai (DWC) and Zurich (ZRH). Return fares start from US$2,022 per ticket to Male and $2,205 to Zurich.
