Kota Kinabalu is SEAIR’s newest destination
A triple treat of fun and adventure awaits passengers as SEAIR unveils its “Paradise to Paradise Plus One” route and offers its first ever international scheduled flight to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.
The inaugural flights scheduled on November 28 will commence from Clark to Caticlan to Puerto Princesa to Kota Kinabalu. The one-way all-in rate between Caticlan and Puerto Princesa starts from as low as Php 2,212 and Php 1,975 for Puerto Princesa and Kota Kinabalu.
“The overall route allows passengers to visit world renowned destinations in a circuitous route without backtracking. The choice of the Puerto Princesa-Kota Kinabalu route is a result of our being designated as the official RP carrier in the Brunei- Indonesia- Malaysia- Philippines East Asia Growth Area (BIMP EAGA),” said Patrick Tan, SEAIR’s VP for Commercial Affairs.
SEAIR is famous for its “paradise to paradise” destinations and the airline ups it a notch by adding Kota Kinabalu as one of its premiere stops. Aside from its rich tourism industry, Kota Kinabalu is strategically located as a starting point to many of South East Asia’s main cities.
SEAIR has always pioneered new and exciting destinations to help spur development in the tourism sector and the opening of this route is long awaited by all nations in BIMP-EAGA as it marks the first time a BIMP-EAGA carrier is flying between two points in the Growth Area.

Welcome to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia.(Selamat Datang Ke Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia)
My name is Filipe Mata JR and am from Lahad Datu, Sabah.
I wish to congratulate SEAIR’s for their inaugural flights from Puerto Princessa to Kota Kinabalu on November 28, 2008.
It is my strong hope that this route will maintain for longer period and the governments under BIMP EAGA, as well their tourism bodies and travel agents will take more aggressive steps to promote each destination in realizing this as “Paradise to Paradise” concept.
This route will not only bring prosperity to each BIMP EAGA members country but the most important is to bridge its citizen closer to each other, to know one another as neighbours.
Hope the airline will also consider flying to our place at Lahad Datu for we are also known for our eco-tourism. Danum Valley and Tabin Wildlife Resort is located here at Lahad Datu and this areas has been known worldwide for its flora and fauna and scientific research.
Till then, maraming salamat.

Congratulations SEAIR for this new destination.
I am Peter Eguia, a 22 year-old Veterinary Medicine student from the University of the Philippines.
I was browsing for cheap airline rates for my next Kota Kinabalu trip this January as a birthday gift from my brother when I saw that SEAIR calls at the KKIA. I was kinda excited to check at your website to see if it is true. And indeed it is.
I’m looking forward to be your next guest. And I hope that this route would be profitable, and would continue for the next years to come, so that the people from the BIMP-EAGA area would have convenient and cheap connections.
Thanks and may God bless us all.
