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.

The airline’s chairman is Pengiran Dato Paduka Haji Abdul Hamid bin Pengiran Haji Mohd Yassin, a Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office. The Acting Chief Executive Officer is Dato Paduka Awang Haji Ahmad bin Haji Ibrahim while other Brunei citizens hold the senior management posts within the departments of Airline Operations, Commercial, Corporate Services, and Engineering.

Royal Brunei continues to add to its destination list with Shanghai in 2001 and Auckland in 2003. Sydney, the airline's fourth Australian destination, was launched on 31 October 2004, and in December, Sharjah was added to the network. Royal Brunei inaugurated Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam by May. This becomes the 22nd destination of Royal Brunei Airlines, intended to complement Sydney for ethnic and visit friend and relatives (VFR) travellers.

Royal Brunei provides scheduled services across Asia, the Middle East, Australasia and Europe. As an added convenience to its passengers, the airline has code-share agreements with Singapore Airlines, 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.
