- Onboard our Airbus 320 aircraft, a total of 4 passengers with total immobility; and
- Overall, not more than 20 passengers with total and reduced immobility.
To ensure our ability to provide the service, we strongly suggest to notify us of your needs at least 48 hours before your scheduled departure whenever possible. Please contact Royal Brunei GSA hotline 0908-777-738 should you require other special assistance.
Wheelchair assistance
- All Royal Brunei Airlines aircrafts have a number of seats with moveable armrests for ease of access.
- Unfortunately, we will not be able to seat you in emergency exit rows due to safety regulations.
- No wheelchairs are available for use onboard our aircrafts, except on the Boeing 787.
Please ask our cabin crew if you like any help with:
- stowing your hand baggage
- opening any parts of your onboard meal.
- ※ One (1) fully collapsible wheelchair and/or one (1) pair of crutches and/or braces or prosthetic device may be taken with the passenger for use after check-in, whilst onboard the aircraft and prior to baggage reclaim upon arrival.

If your wheelchair is required to be stowed in the hold, we will make every effort to return it to you as close to the aircraft door as possible. If this is not possible, there will be a wheelchair made available for embarkation and disembarkation to/from the aircraft. No additional charges will be incurred by the guests.
