AirAsia to launch Flights between Kota Kinabalu and Labuan

AirAsia is to launch flights between Kota Kinabalu and Labuan with fares from as low as RM9. The new route is part of the airline’s strategy to provide more air connectivity to the ‘Land Below The Wind’ and to complement Sabah as the gateway for trade, investment and tourism in the region, specifically under the Sabah Development Corridor.

The new daily flight which will commence on 26 September 2008 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 some way 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.”

AirAsia is also adding frequency between Kota Kinabalu - Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu – Tawau.
