Kota Kinabalu: Korean low-cost airline T'way Air made a milestone on Monday by debuting its direct scheduled flight from Incheon to Kota Kinabalu.

The inaugural flight, which carried 188 passengers, further strengthened links between South Korea and Sabah as the state continues to draw international visitors, according to a statement.

Assistant Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Environment-cum-Sabah Tourism Board chairman Datuk Joniston Bangkuai was at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport to warmly welcome the passengers. 

Joniston emphasised the importance of enhancing international connectivity to Sabah, recognising its immense value to the region.

“Having more international direct flights creates a vital balance that not only benefits our tourism industry but also fuels economic growth in Sabah," he said in the statement.
