KOTA KINABALU, April 17 — Tears of joy fill the eyes those at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport here as the Air Asia flight AK1794 from Singapore carrying 119 passengers, the first international flight into Sabah after more than two years, landed at 2.30pm Saturday.
Malaysia is entering the Transition to Endemic Phase starting April 1 with some concessions being given including the opening of national borders after it was closed for about years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “I always love Sabah and had been coming here for years for holidays, of course I was very sad when I was not able to come here, but now I’m planning to go enjoy the beautiful islands and forests here,” said the retiree.
“Singapore is a very important market to Sabah as it has been our focus market for many years now and it is also a highly important hub for Sabah as it connects our other focus markets around the world into Sabah,” said Joniston. “Through this Fair, the Singaporean consumers will be presented with many selections of tourism products and stays. We received strong support from the Sabah industry players as well whereby they highlight their popular packages such as wildlife, nature and adventure.
“I am pleased to learn that AirAsia has expanded its offerings beyond flights, and is now home to several thriving e-commerce ventures, namely its one-stop platform, the AirAsia Super App.
