Boeing has announced that Royal Brunei Airlines has ordered four 787 Dreamliners to revitalise its wide-body fleet. The selection of the 787-9 aligns with Royal Brunei Airlines’ focus on long-term growth, sustainability and enhancing passenger comfort.

Sabirin bin Haji Abdul Hamid, CEO of Royal Brunei Airlines, emphasized the significance of the forthcoming 787-9 Dreamliner, describing it as a bold step forward in its ongoing journey toward innovation and excellence. Having operated the 787-8 for the past decade, this order ensures the continuation of a product valued by it customers. The new fleet not only reinforces the carrier’s commitment to providing unparalleled service and the highest safety standards but also positions it to explore new growth opportunities, enhancing market appeal and delivering a superior travel experience.

In addition, Boeing has confirmed that Thai Airways has placed an order for 45 787 Dreamliners, marking a significant move to modernise and expand its wide-body fleet and international network. The order, finalised in December 2023 and initially listed as unidentified on Boeing’s Orders & Deliveries website, underscores Thai Airways’ commitment to renewing its fleet with more efficient jets. The selection of the 787-9 aligns with the airline’s long-term strategy to meet high demand for air travel across Southeast Asia by opening new routes and ensuring operational efficiency.
