Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) has signed an agreement with Beijing Longway International Travel Service. Co Ltd for direct charter flights connecting Brunei to Xi'an, China.

From January 21, 2017, RB will operate a weekly flight from Bandar Seri Begawan to Xi'an (and vice versa) until January 13, 2018.

RB first commenced scheduled services to China with flights to Beijing in 1993, followed by Shanghai in 2002. Ever since, it has been operating flights between the countries to develop tourism to Brunei from the world's largest market.

The announcement was made at a press conference held in Xi'an, China on December 12, 2016. Representing RB at the press conference was Brett McDougall, RB's Executive General Manager in Sales and Marketing.

"We are delighted to partner with Beijing Longway for these flights from and to Xi'an to boost tourism traffic between Brunei and China.

"Xi'an, a city in Central China most famous for having the largest mosque in China and for the Terracotta Warriors, will enhance RB's route network" and provide more choices to our customers, said Brett McDougall.

Brunei has plenty to offer to visitors from China. It is the gateway to Borneo, where they can experience Brunei's and Borneo's pristine environment.

Tour packages are readily available to visit the tropical rainforest, go underwater for the country's unique dive spots and visit the historical and cultural places in Brunei.

Since its rebranding in 2012, and the launch of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner service in 2013, RB has steadily developed its route network with the re-introduction of direct flights to Bali and Ho Chi Minh City in 2014, and recent introduction of code share flights to Istanbul and Tokyo, and soon direct charter flights to South Korea.
