Syd axed, though Brisbane, Perth to get daily services

Regulatory restrictions and a lack of aircraft are the reasons behind Royal Brunei’s decision to cancel Sydney flights from May 31. An airline source said it was keen to retain services to Sydney, but the route was no longer feasible. “We can’t grow our frequencies so it’s just not feasible and we need to strengthen the rest of our fleet,” the source said. A lack of aircraft also played a part in the decision, the source said.

Royal Brunei will now increase services to Brisbane and Perth, with both destinations to get daily services from June 1. Royal Brunei currently operates six weekly flights from Brisbane using a Boeing 767. It also flies four services a week from Perth using a combination of the B767 and B777 aircraft.

Royal Brunei yesterday announced it will suspend Sydney and Bali flights from May 31.
All existing ticketed passengers will be offered either a full refund or a ticket on an alternate carrier.
