Maldives-based beOnd has fallen two months behind on staff salaries as it tries to keep aircraft moving through a cash squeeze. The all-business-class carrier has paused its regular summer Maldives schedule, shifted to charter flying, and tied back pay to fresh funding linked to its Saudi Arabia plan.
The memo to employees puts the carrier’s operating model under strain: a thin premium-leisure network, delayed investor cash and limited room for schedule disruption. If funding slips again, the wage problem will quickly become an execution problem across the fleet.
