RB Chief Executive Officer Karam Chand said “As the national carrier of Brunei, we are extremely delighted that the second phase of the codeshare agreement takes effect from today. The partnership with Hong Kong Airlines will allow RB to expand its network and for Hong Kong Airlines the ability to offer Brunei as a destination on its already extensive network.
“The codeshare flights offer the best connection to Tokyo and we trust the tourists and business customers alike will take full advantage of this new offering.
“As part of our new five year business plan we intent to open up new routes progressively and Brunei to new tourism source markets.
“Codesharing is a very effective means of doing this. We look forward to introducing Japanese travellers to the warm Bruneian hospitality and experiences. Tour packages are available for the unique rainforest experience, diving, golf, cultural and other experiences from RB or our travel partners.”
Hong Kong Airlines Chief Commercial Officer Li Dianchun said, “We are glad to strengthen the partnership with Royal Brunei Airlines. We see there is an increasingly strong demand in Asia for travel between Japan and Brunei. We have no doubt the enhanced connectivity via Hong Kong will provide a wider range of choices for passengers of both airlines.”
Flight tickets under the codeshare agreement can be purchased from travel agents or through both Royal Brunei Airlines and Hong Kong Airlines sales offices and call centre and websites; flyroyalbrunei.com and hkairlines.com.
