KOTA KINABALU: Singapore’s low-cost carrier Scoot has resumed its services to Sabah, making it the first international airline to do so.
The Scoot Flight TR492 touched down at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport at about 9pm on Friday carrying 150 passengers, most of whom were foreign tourists.
Scoot launched its first direct flight from Singapore to Kota Kinabalu on Dec 3, 2019, but its operations were halted when the global Covid-19 pandemic struck the following year, affecting the tourism and airline industries. “For us, having flights coming from Singapore is important because Changi Airport receives hundreds of flights from cities all over the world and the Singapore - Kota Kinabalu route offers connectivity to potential international visitors to Sabah,” said Bangkuai.
Through the Fair, Singaporean consumers were presented with a wide range of tourism products and stays, highlighting popular packages such as wildlife, nature, and adventure.
