ALBAWABA - An airline company that exclusively caters to business class services has announced plans to offer Apple Vision Pro on some of its flights. 

Beyond Airlines describes itself as "the world’s first premium leisure airline," with the ability to convert every seat into a flatbed. It began operating its initial three routes in November of last year, all of which go to or from the Maldives.

According to a report by "Business Insider," Tero Taskila, Beond's CEO, stated that in addition to movies and games, they are working on showcasing "captivating footage of destinations and activities at resorts in the Maldives."

He further added: "The flight experience will build anticipation among passengers before they arrive in the Maldives," explaining that offering Apple Vision Pro is another step towards their vision of providing an exceptional travel experience for their customers from the beginning to the end of their journey.

The CEO maintained: "We are working now with partners in the Maldives to prepare truly amazing footage. The inflight experience will build anticipation for passengers before they arrive in the Maldives. Offering the Apple Vision Pro is another step in our vision of delivering a premium travel experience to our customers, from the start to finish of their journey. We’re proud to be the first airline to deploy the technology."

This airline is the first to adopt Vision Pro since Apple first announced its virtual reality glasses. Marques Brownlee, a YouTube tech reviewer, mentioned that using Vision Pro on the plane was the most exciting aspect for him.

Considering the competition with airlines that provide first-class seats with large screens, Vision Pro is what can give this company a competitive edge.
