Royal Brunei Airlines has announced the launch of daily non-stop flights between Heathrow and Brunei International Airport, effective from October 28.
The non-stop flight to Brunei, a result of the airline dropping its Dubai stopover, will see guests enjoy faster journey times, with the Brunei-Heathrow route reduced from 18.1 hours to 14.6 hours and the Melbourne-Brunei-Heathrow route reduced to 23.2 hours from 28.4 hours.
Karam Chand, CEO of the airline, said: ?The introduction of our non-stop flight between Heathrow and Brunei is a significant milestone as, for the first time, Brunei and the UK will be seamlessly connected by a direct air link. With the strong cultural, economic and political ties between the two countries, we are very proud to be able to provide this daily connection. Our Dubai stopover has served us well but, following an increasing demand from our customers for a direct connection, we have been working toward this goal and are very excited to be able to announce its implementation before the busy Christmas period.
?The approximately 14-hour flight on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner will show off our very best in-flight services including 1,000 entertainment options, lower cabin altitude, low noise and less turbulence to help reduce jet lag. We are also looking forward to announcing further product and service innovations throughout 2018.?
While the carrier will cease operating the Dubai-London-Dubai route, it will continue to serve the GCC region with four weekly Brunei-Dubai-Brunei services from October 29.
