About Royal Brunei

Royal Brunei Airlines, the country’s flag carrier, was established on 18 November 1974 as an independent corporation wholly owned by the government of Brunei Darussalam.[1] In Royal Brunei's first year, services were started to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching in Malaysia. The route plan extended over the years and flights to Manila (1976) and Bangkok (1977) became available. Today Royal Brunei provides scheduled services across Asia, the Middle East, Australasia and to the United Kingdom. As an added convenience to its passengers, the airline has code-share agreements with Thai Airways International, Malaysia Airlines, British Midland, Philippine Airlines and Dragon Air of Hong Kong, allowing passengers to co-ordinate flights for seamless travel to a wider choice of destinations.[2]
