KOTA KINABALU: Asia’s leading low-cost carrier AirAsia plans to launch more direct international flights to the Tawau and Sandakan airports next year. “It’s something the Transport Ministry and the (Sabah) Chief Minister have talked to me about. He also expressed confidence that the Sandakan and Tawau airports will be able to cater to a growing numbers of flights and passengers. “Of course, Kota Kinabalu will still be our priority, and we are also looking at starting a direct flight from Seoul (to Kota Kinabalu) in August, next year. We could do so much in Kota Kinabalu if we could get the KKIA Terminal 2 (T2) to reopen," he added.
