Dragonair to resume services to Kota Kinabalu

Dragonair has announced it will resume flights to Kota Kinabalu. From May 27 onwards, services will operate three times a week, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

"We are very pleased to be able to resume services to this wonderful holiday destination in time for the summer season," said Dragonair's General Manager Marketing & Sales, Andy Tung. "It's the perfect place to relax and get away from it all, so we believe it will prove popular both with travellers from Hong Kong and with holiday makers coming here and looking for a second regional destination to visit."

He added: "The SARS outbreak has meant many people have stayed at home, but with the disease showing signs of being contained in Hong Kong, there's a lot of pent-up demand for travel and Kota Kinabalu is an ideal destination."

Dragonair A320s will operate on the route according to the following schedule:

DAYS   FLIGHT  FROM   DEP   ARR
Tues, Fri, Sun KA061 Hong Kong 08:05 11:00
Tues, Fri, Sun KA060 Kota Kinabalu 12:00 14:55

Flights to Kota Kinabalu were suspended on April 13 following the introduction of visa requirements for Hong Kong residents visiting Malaysia. This requirement was lifted on April 23.
