Freme Travel Services Sdn Bhd is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, marking more than five decades of service in Brunei Darussalam’s travel and tourism industry.
To commemorate this milestone, Freme Travel organised “A Flight to Remember”, a special Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative aimed at providing children with a meaningful and memorable experience.
The programme brought together over 100 children aged between seven and 15 years old. The participating children comprised registered orphans under the Department of Community Development (JAPEM) and children from the General Welfare Assistance Division.
For many of the children, this was their first-ever experience travelling on board an aircraft. The children took part in a specially arranged one-hour flight departing from Brunei International Airport. The flight was operated with the support of Royal Brunei Airlines.
Freme Travel appreciates the support and cooperation of all the agencies and partners involved in making the programme possible.
The programme was organised with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports (MCYS), Department of Community Development (JAPEM), Royal Brunei Airlines and Royal Brunei Catering (RBC).
The programme began with a welcoming ceremony at Brunei International Airport.
The ceremony was attended by Yang Mulia Dayang Fauziah Binti Haji Mohd Salleh, Acting Director of the Community Development Department (JAPEM), and Pg Dato Paduka Osman Bin Pg Hj Patra, Executive Director of Freme Travel Services Sdn Bhd.
Following the welcoming ceremony and remarks, the children experienced the various stages of air travel, including airport check-in, departure formalities, boarding the aircraft, take-off and flying over Brunei Darussalam’s airspace.
Snacks were provided for the children before departure and the children received lunch meal upon arrival
Beyond the flight itself, the programme was designed to give the children an experience that they could cherish and remember for years to come.
The initiative reflects Freme Travel’s commitment to giving back to the local community as part of its 55th anniversary celebrations.
Rather than simply celebrating the company’s milestone, Freme Travel wanted to share the celebration with children in the community. “A Flight to Remember” was created to provide these children with an opportunity to experience something new, exciting and meaningful.
The programme also reflects Freme Travel’s belief that travel is about creating memories, connecting people and opening doors to new experiences.
Freme Travel was established in 1971 and has been part of Brunei Darussalam’s travel and tourism industry for 55 years.
Over the decades, the company has continued to provide a wide range of travel services, holiday packages, tourism services and travel-related experiences.
Freme Travel has also continued to contribute to the development of Brunei’s travel and tourism industry.
As Freme Travel celebrates 55 years, the company remains committed to connecting people through travel and creating memorable experiences.
The company will continue to support initiatives that contribute positively to the local community and the wider tourism industry.
The 55th anniversary is not only a celebration of Freme Travel’s history, but also an opportunity to look towards the future and continue creating “Memorable Experiences Every Time.”
