One interesting thing that Mannion pointed out was the possibility of using RBRC for connecting passengers from the Brunei International Airport. He acknowledged Hj Kadri and his team on the efforts that have been done on RBRC.

RB has been getting many praises as of late especially after winning a distinction award in the Global Rebrand Awards 2014 for the quality of their rebranding program.
