BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- Brunei has released updated civil aviation regulations, formally adopting the airworthiness code of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), according to the Department of Civil Aviation under Brunei's Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications on Thursday.
