Malaysia Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines have agreed to code share on the Bandar Seri Begawan-Kota Kinabalu and Bandar Seri Begawan-Kuching flights beginning next month.
In a joint statement Friday, the airlines said Malaysia Airlines will code share on Royal Brunei Airlines’ twice daily services between Bandar Seri Begawan and Kota Kinabalu and twice weekly services between Bandar Seri Begawan and Kuching.
The two airlines have been code sharing on flights between Bandar Seri Begawan and Kuala Lumpur since 2004.
“We are delighted to expand our partnership with Royal Brunei as Borneo is a popular destination for North American and North Asian tourists,” said Malaysia Airlines’ commercial director Datuk Rashid Khan.
“Our customers can now enjoy seamless connectivity to the three major cities which offer unique cultural heritage and natural attractions,” he said.
Royal Brunei Airlines’ senior vice president of commercial, sales and marketing, Wong Peng Hoon, said the airline will be able to effectively make travel to Borneo seamless for passengers with the code share on Sabah and Sarawak.
Passengers, he said, will also be able to take advantage of the increased number of flights into Borneo and access the booking facilities of both airlines.
