Sabah Tourism Board CEO Noredah Othman said: “I am glad that finally, AirAsia has reactivated its Hong Kong \u2013 Kota Kinabalu route, adding another international air link to Sabah.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHong Kong is one of our top target markets, and this is a great start in 2023 for our tourism industry. Sabah is blessed with beautiful islands and beaches, making us a preferred destination for Hong Kong travellers,\u201d Noredah commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirAsia connects Kota Kinabalu to five major international cities: Singapore, Manila, Bangkok, Taipei and Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the resumption of the Hong Kong \u2013 Kota Kinabalu route, Sabah now receives 64 weekly direct international flights. Other direct flights are from South Korea (29), Singapore (14), the Philippines (6), Brunei (5), Taiwan (4), Japan (2) and Thailand (2). Sabah will continue to improve access to the state by increasing the number of international flights from major foreign cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
