FEATURES BEST OF BRUNEIThose lucky enough to be on the Dreamliner’s maiden flightwill be the first to experience the unique combination ofauthentic Bruneian hospitality in passenger service with thelatest technology to provide an unrivalled long haul passengerexperience. The composite construction and advancedaerodynamics of the Dreamliner combine for a smoother rideby reducing turbulence and noise for a calmer cabin ambience.Added to this will be the invisible comfort of a lower cabinaltitude and higher humidity helping avoid the fatigue andheadaches often associated with long haul flights.Royal Brunei has a proud history of operating the most modernfleet, but this will reach new heights with the launch of theDreamliner fleet. It will also make Royal Brunei better neighbours,offering quieter landings and take-offs for local communities thatsurround the airports it serves in London, Dubai, Southeast Asiaand Melbourne.For a plane assembled in the heartland of America, theDreamliner is a remarkable international effort and it is apt thatfrom 1 December, 2013, it will fly daily from London Heathrowfor the main landing gear parts, designed and built by Messier-Dowty alongside Rolls Royce Trent engines in the UnitedKingdom. Similarly key elements of the wings including trailingedges will be returning home to Australia as Royal Brunei’sMelbourne flight kicks in at a later date. The technology thoughis only part of the story, and back in Brunei, additional traininghas already begun for the crew that will add to the authenticBruneian hospitality and experience.The lobbying for the prized role at the helm of the aircraft hasalso begun. As a team Royal Brunei has so long looked forwardto the delivery that it is difficult to choose who will have theresponsibility to fly the Dreamliner home. From our pilots to ourflight attendants this will be a high point in their careers. SinceRoyal Brunei started operating in 1976 it has been guided by adesire to provide its passengers with the simple pleasures ofhigh class customer service that provides a real taste of Bruneiand what makes it special. The arrival of the Dreamliners allowsRoyal Brunei to live up to its promise of a better fly.As the Boeing factory recedes into the distance, it becomes clearthat the ambition and heart of Royal Brunei is an appropriatematch for the scale of Boeing’s dream factory. The self-beliefthat will see a boutique airline be the first to fly the world’s mostpassenger friendly airliner across the skies of Southeast Asiaand beyond has metamorphosed. The Dreamliners also speakof Royal Brunei’s steely determination to take the world’s bestairliner further and beyond.48 MUHIBAH
