Royal Brunei Airlines orders four more Boeing 787s
Royal Brunei Airlines announced Tuesday that it ordered four additional 787 Dreamliners from Boeing.
Royal Brunei Airlines’ selection of the 787-9 supports the airline’s long-term growth strategy, sustainability goals and focus on passenger comfort.
Royal Brunei Airlines, which was the first Southeast Asian carrier to fly the Dreamliner more than a decade ago, currently operates five 787-8s with destinations in Asia, Australia, the Middle East and the United Kingdom.

The 787-9, which can carry nearly 20% more passengers than the 787-8 and fly 14,010 km (7,565 nautical miles), will support the carrier’s growing capacity needs on these medium- and long-haul routes.
“The forthcoming arrival of the 787-9 Dreamliner symbolizes a bold step forward in our ongoing journey toward 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 last 10 years and this order will ensure we continue with a product that our customers have come to enjoy”.
