beOnd Shifts European Network to Saudi’s Red Sea International

The carrier is rerouting most Europe–Malé services through RSI as it opens new European routes and pursues deeper ties with Saudi connectivity programs.

Overview

  • beOnd announced on July 24 that it will add scheduled services from Red Sea International to London, Paris, Moscow, Zurich and Munich from December 2026 and will reinstate Milan Malpensa service in October 2026 with published weekly frequencies.
  • The new European services will use A320-family aircraft fitted in an all-business class layout, with most routes operating three times weekly and Milan and Munich running twice weekly.
  • From December 2026 the airline plans to route the majority of its Europe–Malé flights via RSI, replacing prior refuelling stops at Dubai World Central and giving beOnd pick-up and drop-off rights at the Red Sea gateway.
  • beOnd suspended scheduled operations in April 2026 and faced online reports of payroll delays in June, and a company spokesperson said in late July that outstanding salaries have now been paid and funding progress is under way.
  • The carrier is coordinating with the Saudi Air Connectivity Program and has applied for a Saudi air operator certificate, a move that would make beOnd the largest carrier by destinations at RSI and could reshape leisure travel links to Saudi resort projects.
