BeOnd: Scaling a Premium Airline with In-House Operational Control
How do you scale from startup to multi-station international airline, while operating at the edge of aircraft performance and fuel optimization?
In the latest issue of Aircraft IT Operations, beOnd shares its journey from launch to growth, and how bringing its Operations Control Center (OCC) in-house became a turning point.
“PPS and its support team are a great partner for BeOnd. They are very responsive, keep improving and are very reliable. In fact, I can honestly say that PPS has been and remains critical to our success.” – Zain Eejaz, Manager of Flight Operations Technical & Planning

Founded in 2022 and operating under a Maldivian AOC, beOnd positions itself as the world’s first all-business-class leisure airline. With an Airbus A320-family fleet, seasonal European routes and charter operations, the airline combines lean startup agility with complex operational requirements.
In the case study, Zain Eejaz, Manager Flight Operations Technical & Planning, explains how the airline:
- Transitioned from an outsourced OCC to full in-house operational control
- Implemented PPS within weeks during active fleet expansion
- Operates European routes with CONT 3% and Reduced Contingency Fuel (RCF)
- Achieved zero diversions across 104 Europe-bound winter flights
- Uses data-driven decision-making to operate at the absolute performance limit
The article offers practical insights into scaling flight operations, managing contingency fuel with precision, integrating flight planning, CrewBriefing, and flight watch, and selecting technology partners that support growth instead of complexity.
