- 03/21 · 3,658 m / 12,001 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt/concrete composite (PCN70/F/C/W/T, flexible/rigid pavement) · ILS ILS CAT I both ends (RWY 03 localizer/GP ident BE, RWY 21 localizer/GP ident BI, DME co-located each end)
Airport contact
Sole runway 03/21 (3,658 x 45m, PCN70/F/C/W/T flexible/rigid) carries full ILS - localizer, glidepath and DME - on both approach directions per AIP AD 2.19. Scheduled operations without PPR are confined to notified hours of 2300-1600 UTC daily (0700-0000 local); movements outside that window require prior permission from DCA, effectively an overnight curfew (AIP AD 2.3). Reported 2024 full-year traffic was approximately 1.46 million passengers (1,464,245), the most recent widely-cited total; no confirmed 2025 annual passenger count, movement total, or formal 2030 passenger target was located in current DCA or MTIC publications.

Ground handling
Available
Royal Brunei Airlines (BI) Ground Services
Royal Brunei Airlines' own ground-operations arm provides ramp and passenger handling (marshalling, baggage/cargo loading, check-in, boarding-gate management, special assistance) for its own flights at Brunei International Airport, its home hub. Secondary handling-coordinator listings describe it as the de-facto sole ground handler for the other scheduled carriers serving BWN (AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia, Cebu Pacific, Singapore Airlines), but this specific claim could not be verified against a primary RBA or airport-authority source, and IATA code BI (not 'RB') was confirmed via Wikipedia.

Part-145 base maintenance
Unconfirmed
Royal Brunei Engineering Sdn Bhd (RBEng)
Spun off from RBA's Engineering Department in early 2005; historically performed heavy checks up to '12C'/Structural 4C on Boeing 757/767 and Airbus A320-family aircraft, major modifications, cabin reconfiguration, re-weigh and painting in the RBA hangar at BWN. The RBA board directed it in Nov 2007 to cease third-party maintenance and focus solely on Royal Brunei Airlines' own fleet. Note this documented heavy-check capability predates RBA's later transition to an all-Boeing-787 fleet; whether RBEng's hangar was adapted for 787 heavy checks, or these are now outsourced overseas, is not publicly documented.
