AirAsia will commence daily flights between Kota Kinabalu and Davao from November 1, making it the third air link connecting Sabah and the Philippines.
Currently Cebu Pacific Air operates thrice-weekly services between Manila and Kota Kinabalu, while AirAsia offers daily Clark-Kota Kinabalu flights and SEAIR flies three weekly flights between Clark and Kota Kinabalu.
Sabah Tourism Board chairman, Tengku Zainal Adlin, said: “Direct air access to Davao will attract the high-yield business community as Davao is the (economic) and ecotourism centre for southern Philippines.” The board’s senior marketing manager Noredah Othman believed the direct flights would attract the expatriate community working in Davao and enhance Kota Kinabalu’s appeal as a pre- and post-tour destination.
To entice weekend travellers, Trek Finder Tours general manager Auther J Kimon will develop 3D2N packages and 2D1N packages to promote nature-based activities in Sabah, including the Kinabalu Park and Weston River cruise.
