KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - AirAsia has launched a new domestic route from Kota Kinabalu to Labuan with fares from as low as RM9.00.

The daily flight, commencing on Sept 26, will provide foreign visitors an added entry point into Kota Kinabalu, the main gateway to Sabah.

AirAsia chief executive officer Datuk Tony Fernandes said that the air linkage provided by AirAsia has in some ways opened up various economic and business opportunities since the first flight in Sabah six years ago.

He added that more flights would be added from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu to Tawau. -- The Star
