#Sabah is keen to take over the management of the #KotaKinabalu International Airport (#KKIA) in view of the longstanding "inaction" to resolve issues at the #airport.
The problems at the KKIA including the airport’s lighting, air-conditioning, toilets, baggage trolleys, carousels, and public announcement (PA) system have not been effectively addressed.
The available spaces designated for food outlets at the airport have not been fully utilised.
Kota Kinabalu International Airport (#BKI), located 8 kilometers from the main city of the state of #Sabah, is the main gateway to the northern region of #Borneo.
During World War II, it was called Jesselton Airfield and has played a significant role ever since.
The #airport has undergone many phases of upgrading and it is now one of the busiest airports in #Malaysia.
BKI has a single #runway that can handle wide-body #aircraft such as the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747.
