MALAYSIA AIRLINES AND ROYAL BRUNEI AIRLINES EXPAND CODE SHARE

KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines and Royal Brunei
Airlines have agreed to code share on the Bandar Seri Begawan-Kota Kinabalu and
Bandar Seri Begawan-Kuching flights beginning next month.

In a joint statement Friday, the airlines said Malaysia Airlines will code
share on Royal Brunei Airlines' twice daily services between Bandar Seri Begawan
and Kota Kinabalu and twice weekly services between Bandar Seri Begawan and
Kuching.

The two airlines have been code sharing on flights between Bandar Seri
Begawan and K uala Lumpur since 2004.

"We are delighted to expand our partnership with Royal Brunei as Borneo is a
popular destination for North American and North Asian tourists," said Malaysia
Airlines' commercial director Rashid Khan.

"Our customers can now enjoy seamless connectivity to the three major cities
which offer unique cultural heritage and natural attractions," he said.

Royal Brunei Airlines' senior vice president of commercial, sales and
marketing, Wong Peng Hoon, said the airline will be able to effectively make
travel to Borneo seamless for passengers with the code share on Sabah and
Sarawak.

Passengers, he said, will also be able to take advantage of the increased
number of flights into Borneo and access the booking facilities of both
airlines.
