….. Kota Kinabalu is one of our largest hubs after Kuala Lumpur and we are committed to grow it further by expanding our network to more local and international cities. We recently launched direct flight from Kota Kinabalu to Bangkok, and we are delighted to connect Sabahans to Macao and the Pearl River Delta. With Sabah strategically located in the northern part of Borneo island, we hope to bring the world to Sabah by linking Sabah with Asean, North Asia, Australia and beyond.
