Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) announced the suspension of the RB Link flights to various cities within Borneo yesterday.

RB in a release said with the rise in the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) globally and numerous travel restrictions from various governments, demand for air travel across the world has declined significantly.

RB will therefore operate a revised and substantially reduced flying programme across March and April, the release said.

The aircraft, maintenance, insurance and crew (both pilots and cabin crew) were provided by Malindo Air under this partnership launched under the RB Link product. The suspension of flights will remain in place from March 23 to November 20.

The suspension will be reviewed regularly in line with demand for international air travel and government directives.

Details of RB’s flying schedule for April/May can be found at www.flyRB.com/covid-19.
