Jafry said the State Government thanked Firefly for choosing Kota Kinabalu as one of its routes and hopes the cooperation between them can be strengthened, which will further boost the State’s tourism industry.
“With this new route, it would facilitate the accessibility of the people and tourists,” he said after welcoming passengers on Firefly’s inaugural Penang-Kota Kinabalu flight at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA), here, Monday.
