Royal Brunei to expand with Sydney, Melbourne

From Travel blackboard:

Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) is reportedly set to expand, with prospective plans to revive flights to and from Sydney and add Melbourne to its network.

According to reports, the expansion will also involve a fleet update and comes as new chief executive Robert Yang takes the reins.

The carrier’s ageing B767 fleet will be replaced with new B777s by mid-2010 and 787 Dreamliners by late 2013 and 737-800s from 2011.

Royal Brunei could also potentially be back in Sydney and Melbourne by 2011.
