RBA Holds Emergency Response Exercise
By James Kon

Bandar Seri Begawan - The national carrier, Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) last Wednesday successfully carried out an Airline Emergency Response Simulation exercise, assessing the effectiveness of the airline's emergency response plan and staff preparedness in the event of an air disaster.

In a press release, RBA said that the simulation exercise was set against a simulated accident whereby an inbound Royal Brunei Airlines aircraft "overshot" the runway and "crashed".

The entire staff and management of RBA, based in Brunei, were involved in the exercise.

Upon activation, the airline's core response teams, namely, from the Crisis Management Centre, Passenger Care Information Centre, Accident Field Team and the Family Assistance and Support Team, among others, swung into action.

The exercise also sought to test the airline's internal procedures and to obtain suggestions for improvement on any weakness.

A similar exercise will be held in the future to ensure that RBA can maintain an emergency response capability, allowing it to contain and manage any major event or situation that threatens the wellbeing of the airline. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
