RBA Chief Executive Officer Ray Sayer said that this code-share agreement with THAI will enable RBA to welcome travellers from a wider target market. “Royal Brunei Airlines is pleased to partner with THAI to further grow the regional travel and tourism market,” Mr. Sayer commented.
“The code-share agreement between THAI and Royal Brunei Airlines signifies the beginning of network cooperation between the two carriers, whereby the THAI will be able to continue service to Bandar Seri Begawan on flights operated by Royal Brunei Airlines. Therefore, the code-share agreement between the two carriers will enable passengers in Thailand, Brunei, and connecting passengers from abroad to continue to take advantage of travel and tourism opportunities in both countries,” said Mr. Pandit Chanapai, THAI’s Executive Vice President for Commercial.
