Boeing and Royal Brunei Airlines have announced the airline's purchase of four 787-9 Dreamliners to renew its widebody fleet.
Royal Brunei Airlines says its selection of the 787-9 supports the airline's long-term growth strategy, sustainability goals and focus on passenger comfort.
Royal Brunei Airlines was the first Southeast Asian airline to fly the 787 Dreamliner more than a decade ago, and currently has five smaller 787-8s serving its regional and long-haul network along with seven Airbus A320 neo aircraft.
The airline's destinations include London Heathrow, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo and Melbourne.
“The upcoming arrival of the 787-9 Dreamliner symbolizes a bold step forward in our continued journey towards innovation and excellence,” said Sabirin bin Haji Abdul Hamid, CEO of Royal Brunei Airlines.
“Royal Brunei Airlines has been operating the 787-8 for the past 10 years and this order will ensure that we continue with a product that our customers enjoy. In our constant effort to offer unparalleled service combined with the highest safety standards to our guests, the new fleet will allow us to harness the potential of new growth areas, strengthening our attractiveness in the market and allowing us to provide a travel experience superior to our guests. ”
Brunei's flag carrier offers a two-class product across its fleet, with a 2-2-2 configured lie-flat business class on its 787-8s and a 2-2 lie-flat business class on the A320 neo fleet.
