To be leased from LCAL Leasing Co.

RBA was to lease four brand-new Boeing 787-8 aircraft in 2009, but the Boeing delivery schedule has slipped by at least two years. When these aircraft are eventually delivered, [7] Royal Brunei will consider the possibility of beginning new long-haul, non-stop services to Europe.
