KOTA KINABALU: Bookings for flights to the state capital have picked up following the Sabah government’s decision to do away with the Covid-19 swab test requirement from next month, says Malaysia Airlines.

Its group chief executive officer Captain Izham Ismail revealed that sales for the Kota Kinabalu route came out on top for the airline during the recently-concluded Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents (MATTA) fair in Kuala Lumpur.
