Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) is planning to expand its presence in the China market following the decision to resume flights to Shanghai.
Wong Peng Hoon, senior vice-president for commercial yield and planning at RBA, told the Brunei Times: “In every study that we see, China is the market with the highest growth. In fact in our research, China will still be the highest growth market for the next 20 years, and there is no way we are going to miss that.”
He said bookings for the flight to Shanghai during the first day of the launch were overwhelming and remained very strong.
Asked whether the airline will increase flights to Shanghai from the four per week during the Shanghai World Expo from May to October, Wong said the airline will have to gauge the demand before making any decision.
