Unfortunately the truth of the matter is that Brunei, with it's tiny population and it's very limited tourist attractions, cannot reasonably justify anything more than a few A320s/737s for local connections, as it was a few years ago. No-one will bite that particular bullet, so the outfit flounders around with the clueless management continually bleating 'must cut costs', whilst it is haemorrhaging cash at every turn. 3 separate fleets!!! [perhaps, if the 777s ever materialise]. Any competition nearby? Only SQ and Tiger amongst many others!!

What does Brunei want? A first class long haul flag waver/employment scheme which doesn't come cheap, or an airline with the correct critical mass that might just break even? Unfortunately at the moment it has neither to nobody's credit.
