On July 22, Royal Brunei Airlines will resume flights to London Gatwick, marking the UK's second-longest nonstop flight. This service, which will last until August 19, features five round-trip flights for the school holidays. It is the first nonstop operation between Brunei and the UK in over two years.
Royal Brunei will join other airlines at Gatwick this year, including Air Sierra Leone, Uganda Airlines, Gulf Air, and Kenya Airways. Meanwhile, Air India plans to cease operations there. Royal Brunei's history with London dates back to 1990 when it flew to Gatwick using Boeing aircraft and later shifted to Heathrow via Dubai in 1991.
The airline will offer a Tuesday-only service between Bandar Seri Begawan and Gatwick as a temporary addition to its thrice-weekly Bandar-Dubai-Heathrow route. This decision aims to address capacity needs during the school holidays.
