Royal Brunei Airlines announced that the introduction of A320neo aircraft will be a game changing exercise for the airline

The new aircraft are expected to deliver an improved customer experience and reduce the carrier's cost structure through lower fuel and maintenance costs. The airline may exercise options for additional aircraft in 2017 or early 2018. It was further announced in July 2017 that Royal Brunei Airlines is set to benefit as Brunei tourists visiting Malaysia has significantly increased to a total of 1.4 million visits to the mult-ethnic country last year. The drop in the Malaysian currency rate has also contributed to the surge in Bruneian tourists to Malaysia, with West Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak receiving a record RM3.7 billion worth of Bruneian tourist dollars last year (the bulk of this spending was done in Miri).

Another reason for the high number of Brunei tourists to Malaysia is the Sultanate’s proximity to Sabah and Sarawak; the two neighbouring Malaysian states are to Brunei what West Malaysia is to Singapore, and at the same time travel to West Malaysia is convenient, with flights to the capital Kuala Lumpur taking just slightly over two hours.

It is the first of its kind tourism initiative between the Sultanate and the Malaysian state.

As part of the cooperation, the two parties agreed to cost-share the promotional activities that will centre around stimulating the increase of Australian tourists into Brunei Darussalam and Sabah. Selected Australian travel agents will be appointed to sell special packages within a time frame, which includes a dedicated Return and Services Leagues (RSL) package to attend the Sandakan Day Memorial Service in Sabah this year.

For higher destination awareness on both Brunei and Sabah, the document also agreed to work with Australian online writers and media to produce online content as well as a promotional e-book. In May 2017, Royal Brunei Airlines announced plans to start regular flights between Brunei Darussalam and Lombok this year, after a market study showed that the resort island in West Nusa Tenggara is a family-friendly destination.

If the market study reveals a positive trend, Lombok will be the airline's fourth destination in Indonesia.

To contribute to the diversification of Brunei’s economy, Japan is planning technical cooperation with the Sultanate on a cost sharing basis. The Japanese Government has already proposed a draft agreement on technical cooperation to be signed by the Brunei Government. Once it is signed, Bruneian officials could participate in training courses in Japan and Japanese experts can travel to Brunei to deliver seminars and provide technical advice, said Noriko Iki, the outgoing Ambassador of Japan to Brunei Darussalam.

On attracting tourists from Brunei to Japan and vice versa, the outgoing Japanese Ambassador agreed that resumption of direct flights between both countries will be beneficial in attracting not only tourists but also investors, while also hoping that Royal Brunei Airlines will fly directly to Japan again in the near future. Besides increasing the frequency of visits by Japanese travel agents to Brunei, she suggested that more Japanese travel programmes needed to be made on Brunei.
