This exciting development will allow travelers to experience a seamless journey and unlock a world of possibilities.
Bridging Continents: A New Era of Connectivity
This new direct air link marks a significant milestone in the relationship between Brunei and England.

The new route will offer a faster journey for travelers, reducing the round trip travel time from Brunei by 3.5 hours and from Melbourne by 5.3 hours.
This exciting new service is a response to the growing demand for direct routes from RB’s valued guests. The current route through Dubai has served well, but it’s time to elevate the travel experience!
A Journey of Comfort and Delight

This incredible aircraft boasts lower cabin altitude, reduced noise and turbulence, minimizing jet lag and ensuring a pleasant journey.
We’re not done yet! RB has even more exciting product and service innovations planned for the future, so stay tuned for more announcements!
A Gateway to Unforgettable Experiences
This direct flight will open doors to a surge in tourism from the UK and Europe. Brunei is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, and with this new route, it’s easier than ever to experience its unique culture, breathtaking landscapes, and vibrant cities.
RB has seen a record number of visitors in 2017 and aims to double tourism to the region by 2021. This new route, alongside additional Seoul flights, China charter flights, and new markets yet to be announced, will play a crucial role in achieving this ambitious goal.
A Dream Come True: Unlocking the World’s Wonders
“Brunei is an exciting destination, full of undiscovered treasures,” states Adiel Mambara, Country Manager UK & Ireland, Royal Brunei Airlines. “Our non-stop flights will be a catalyst for increased tourism from the UK and Europe.”
RB’s commitment to delivering award-winning service and hospitality, coupled with outstanding value for money, makes it the perfect choice for those seeking a memorable travel experience.
This new route will also make RB a major player in the UK-Australia market. The convenient one-stop flight to Melbourne will make traveling between these two countries a breeze.
With its enhanced route network, including London, regional flights within Asia, and exciting new destinations to be announced, RB is ready to take your travel dreams to new heights!
A New Beginning: Building on a Legacy of Excellence
With the introduction of the daily, non-stop flights to London, RB will cease operating the Dubai-London-Dubai route. However, RB remains committed to providing a seamless connection to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) via Dubai, offering four times weekly Brunei-Dubai-Brunei services effective October 29th, 2018.
RB has also updated its schedule for its Melbourne flights, ensuring better connections within its long-haul route network. These new schedules are subject to slot clearances and government approvals.
RB has a rich history of connecting the world. It launched its first flight to London (Gatwick) via Singapore and Dubai in 1990. On May 10th, 1991, RB began flying twice weekly to London Heathrow. In May 2004, RB launched its daily flight to London (via Dubai). Now, with the launch of its daily, non-stop flight to London from Brunei on October 28th, 2018, RB continues to write a new chapter in its story of connecting cultures and enriching lives.
