THE restructured Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) is in a “far better” economic position, said the Minister of Development.
“Efforts are still being made to improve its service,” added YB Dato Paduka Awang Haji Bahrin bin Abdullah, who is also the Chairman of RB, in response to YB Haji Awang Ahmad Morshidi bin Pehin Orang Kaya Digadong Seri Diraja Dato Laila Utama Haji Awang Abdul Rahman at the Legislative Council Meeting yesterday.
Minister of Communications YB Dato Paduka Awang Haji Mustappa bin Haji Sirat, earlier said the prices of electronic goods sold at the Brunei International Airport were much lower than those sold in Australia and the United Kingdom.
“This is a good opportunity for operators. This is an advantage that will be pursued by the relevant government agencies,” the minister said.

YB Haji Tahamit bin Haji Nudin expressed concern over the losses incurred by RB from its fleet upgrade to the 757.
He said, wrong strategic planning had cost the airline and that the investments did not guarantee profits, especially with the growing number of budget airlines.
The response was that a rebranding move for the flagship carrier was necessary.
