AirAsia launches new route for Kota Kinabalu hub

AirAsia launches a new domestic route, Kota Kinabalu Labuan with fares from as low as RM9.00*. This daily flight which will commence on 26-Sept-08 is beneficial to foreign visitors as they would have an added entry point from Labuan to get into Kota Kinabalu, the main gateway to Sabah.

 

Dato’ Sri Tony Fernandes, Group CEO of AirAsia Berhad said “The air linkage provided by AirAsia has someway assisted to open various economic and business opportunities since we launched the flight in Sabah 6 years ago. We are proud to see some significant changes within the economic and social development in Sabah. Thus the inclusion of this new route and the added frequency is part of our way to celebrate Malaysia’s 51 years of independence, promote national integration and our unremitting commitment to develop Sabah and enable more Malaysians to fly.”

And by strong demands from guests, AirAsia is also adding more frequency from Kota Kinabalu - Sandakan (2nd frequency) and Kota Kinabalu – Tawau (3rd frequency). With this, guests now can have more choices to travel.
