Royal Brunei Airlines relaunches Beijing route and marks 50 years of award-winning service
Celebrating 50 years of achievements, Royal Brunei Airlines is returning to ITB China after recently reinstating its Beijing route, further strengthening its regional network, which already includes Hangzhou, Nanning, Hong Kong, and Taipei.
In late April of this year, just in time for ITB China 2025, Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) relaunched its Beijing – Brunei route, providing twice-weekly service operating through Beijing Daxing International Airport. The route to Beijing will be serviced by RB’s modern and fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo fleet, providing passengers with a more comfortable and environmentally friendly flying experience along with the award-winning service. This route will enhance connectivity for corporate travellers, students, and tourists, further strengthening economic ties between both nations and allowing travellers from Beijing to explore the beauty of Brunei.
Established in 1974, Royal Brunei Airlines is the national carrier of Brunei Darussalam and operates a fleet of five Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners and seven Airbus A320NEOs. From 2018 to 2020 TripAdvisor recognised RB in the Travellers’ Choice Regional Airlines (Asia), and the airline’s accolades don’t stop there. In 2019, RB received a Five-Star rating from APEX, and won Four Stars at the SKYTRAX Awards. In 2021, RB won Asia’s and the World’s Leading Cabin Crew titles from the World Travel Awards (WTA), honours it held through 2022. In 2024, Crescent Rating named RB the Muslim-Friendly Airline of the Year and in 2025, it received the APEX Best in Cabin Service & Food and Beverage Award in East Asia and was recognised as a 2025 APEX Four-Star Major Airline.
As it marks half a century of connecting Brunei to the world, Royal Brunei Airlines remains committed to delivering exceptional service, guided by the values of care, community, and ikhlas –sincerely from the heart.
