Didn't see this one coming...At least they are keeping Melbourne, for now at least.
RBA to quit Brisbane, Perth and Auckland
Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) has announced services to Auckland, Brisbane, Perth and Ho Chi Minh City all will be suspended after the last scheduled flights of October 2011. Flights to Kuching will be suspended after the last scheduled flight of July 2011.
A spokesperson for the airline said the decision to cancel services was part of a major "restructure".
No announcement was made on the future of affected staff, but it is understood they will be offered redundancy packages or alternative employment within the airline.
In a prepared statement, RBA said the company was moving forward with a comprehensive and sustainable plan to improve its operations, financial performance and customer service experience.
"It was not an easy decision to reduce RBA's route network. However, it is the first step towards creating a stronger foundation that will allow the airline to enhance our value to customers, employees, and society," said airline deputy chairman Dermot Mannion.
Passengers who have purchased tickets for travel on suspended flights are asked to contact the travel agent where they purchased their tickets or their nearest RBA ticketing office.
