Mr Karam Chand, Chief Executive Officer of RB said “We are very pleased to have partnered with Turkish Airlines to provide our customers with more choices. The results to-date have been very encouraging and as a result we are expanding our Partnership. The RB and Turkish Airlines code share flights offer the best connection to Istanbul and vice versa and we believe will further enhance the tourism and business links between the two Countries.”
Mr. Bilal Ekşi, Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chairman of TK stated that; “This expansion in the scope of the codeshare will not only provide our respective passengers with varied options for travelling to Brunei, but also create a great opportunity for a seamless travel with the reduced layover durations. It is a pleasure for us to improve our service to Bandar Seri Begawan, which, I believe, will eventually contribute to the enhancement of the good relations between two countries.”
