===Rapid expansion: 1992–1996===
[[File:Royal Brunei Airlines Boeing 757-200 Smith.jpg|thumb|The arrival of [[Boeing 757-200]] commenced the beginning of Royal Brunei's mid- and long-haul expansion.]]

With the airline's rapid expansion, the 737s were sold, replaced by the [[Boeing 767]]. Before that, 757-200s served the airline between Brunei, the Middle East, and Gatwick.

The delivery of the first Boeing 767 (after a leased 767-200 registered CC-CEX) broke a world record when it flew 17&nbsp;hours and 22&nbsp;minutes non-stop from [[Boeing]]'s factory in [[Seattle]] to [[Jomo Kenyatta International Airport]], [[Nairobi]], on its way to Brunei.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bailey |first=John |date=June 1990 |title=767 beats performance records |url=http://www.FlightGlobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1990/1990%20-%201748.htm |website=FlightGlobal.com |publisher=[[Flight International]]|access-date=7 December 2010}}{{Dead link|date=April 2022}}</ref> Seven more 767s were delivered, taking the fleet to eight Boeing 767s and two Boeing 757s (one of the 757s was sold to fund the purchase of the new 767s).

In March 1993, [[Abu Dhabi]] was added to the route network, through which flights to Frankfurt and [[Jeddah]], were re-routed instead of Dubai. [[Bali]] was the second Indonesian city to be added to the network in May of the year. Flights to the third European destination, [[Zürich]], commenced in August 1993 via Kuala Lumpur and another new destination, [[Bahrain]]. Before the end of the year, the airline was inaugurating services to Beijing (October) and [[Cairo]] (November), via Kuala Lumpur and Bahrain, respectively. Royal Brunei Airlines sold its last [[Boeing 737]] to [[Aloha Airlines]].<ref name="Oil"/>

The growth of the network continued in [[1994 in aviation|1994]]. The delivery of two [[Fokker 50]]s was used to start services to [[Miri, Malaysia|Miri]] and [[Labuan Territory|Labuan]] in east Malaysia of the same year. Flights to [[Brisbane]] and [[Osaka]] were also commenced in June and December, respectively; (the Brisbane service was initially routed via Darwin but later upgraded to a [[non-stop flight]]). The desire to link all the major [[Petroleum|oil and gas]] cities on [[Borneo]] saw the addition of [[Balikpapan]] to the route network in December.

Also in 1994, services began to [[Kolkata]] via Singapore and then on towards Dubai. Two [[Dornier 228]]s were purchased in the same year, and leased to the Malaysian regional carrier, [[Hornbill Skyways]], to connect Brunei by air to [[Mulu Airport]]. Services to Cairo and [[Kolkata]] (via Singapore) were suspended in mid-1995 due to low passenger numbers.

The F-50s were replaced by the larger and more comfortable [[Fokker 100]] (used, from previous owner [[Swissair]]) in 1996,<ref>{{Cite journal |title=Royal Brunei Airlines receives first of two used Fokker 100s |url=http://www.FlightGlobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1996/1996%20-%203184.html |website=FlightGlobal.com |publisher=[[Flight International]] |date=4 December 1996|access-date=7 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306215249/https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1996/1996%20-%203184.html|archive-date=6 March 2016|url-status=dead }}</ref> which fuelled expansion to [[Bintulu]]. The route to Zürich was suspended in September 1996, to enable Royal Brunei to commence daily services to London Heathrow. Some London flights were routed through [[Yangon]] and Abu Dhabi, instead of via Singapore and Dubai; however, Yangon proved uneconomical and was discontinued the following year.
