Airports in Brunei
Brunei is a petite state with minimum population towards the northern coast of Borneo. Brunei experiences high standard of living owing to the sizeable deposits of gas and oil.
Being the wealth of oil resources, it has visitors from various parts of the world and this increases the need for Brunei international airports.
There is only one Brunei international airport, Bandar Seri Begawan situated towards the south of the city.
However, the internal air services are not facilitated and the only national airline that is operating is the Royal Brunei Airlines.Purple taxis are available at the arrival hall gate and takes to the city within 15 to 25 minutes.
Visitors can get it booked from the airport by insisting on paying the official rates or they may have to pay more than 30% to the avaricious drivers. The buses that ply from and to the airport from the bus station and to the city centre are available in every 30 minutes.
