Royal Brunei Airlines (RB) began vaccinating its frontliners against the COVID-19 yesterday.
RB Chief Executive Officer Captain Haji Khalidkhan bin Haji Asmakhan and Deputy Chief Pilot Captain Yuri Leeka Hamidoon became among the first to receive the vaccine during an event to mark the start of the vaccination drive for the public at the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS)Hospital in the capital yesterday.
RB plans to get all of its frontliners including pilots, cabin crew and ground services, vaccinated within the next few weeks in line with the Brunei Darussalam Vaccination Strategy. The added protection to RB’s frontline staff will boost theirs and the public’s confidence in travelling with RB and represents a crucial step in increasing operations in an industry heavily impacted by the pandemic.
