PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Airlines will increase flights from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau as well as the Kuala Lumpur-Sandakan route to twice daily from Sept 16.

Tawau and Sandakan are popular destinations for business and tourism, said MAS senior general manager for network and revenue management Dr Amin Khan.

“The second daily flight will enable more tourists to connect easily to Tawau and Sandakan.

“As a network carrier, our passengers will be able to travel seamlessly with just one ticket,” he said.

Dr Amin said demand for domestic travel has increased by 15% in the past few months due to the highly competitive fares offered by airlines.

“We offer many other benefits at no extra charge such as the 20kg baggage allowance, assigned seats and meals,” he said.
