With any attempts at peace talks over Iran now fallen through multiple times, the war has created a major crisis for airlines when it comes to the cost of jet fuel and the safety of certain routes.

Local airlines such as Emirates and Etihad have been running some flights into and out of Dubai. Yet major international carriers have canceled all service into the United Arab Emirates and several nearby countries as the ripple effects of the war set off by the U.S.-Israeli strike last February continue across the Middle Eastern region.

Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Air Canada, British Airways, Air France, and KLM are among the major airlines currently not flying into Dubai due to ongoing security concerns.

Established in 2022 as an airline with an Airbus A319 configured with all-business-class seats, Malé-based BeOnd had lofty plans of growing into the main airline for travelers headed to the Maldives.

The airline had been running flights to the capital of the nation in the Indian Ocean associated with extreme luxury from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, as well as European cities such as Milan and Zürich.

Prior to the current situation, BeOnd was also preparing to launch flights from London Heathrow and Paris by December 2026, while also eying the first direct service to the Maldives from the U.S. at some point after.

But as is now apparent from the airline’s booking availability and Cirium flight data, BeOnd has canceled all of its service for the summer.

Although the airline had initially canceled only longer routes that made a stopover in Dubai as the nearest major hub, falling traveler numbers to the entire region likely led to a full grounding of the fleet in the hopes of restarting in October 2026.

“If you’re booked to travel with us this summer, our guest experience team will be in touch within the next 72 hours with flexible rebooking options including fee-free moves to winter, future travel within 12 months, or a full refund,” the airline wrote in a Facebook post on April 18.

The last flight from Zürich to Velana International (MLE) in Malé is scheduled to run on May 1.
