Kota Kinabalu: The number of Filipinos visiting Sabah via air is constantly dropping , according to an airline official in Manila.
Daily Express learnt that the Manila-BKI direct flight continued to experience a drop in passenger load.
“We have been registering less Filipino passengers visiting Kota Kinabalu since the start of the first quarter of this year,” a staff of a Philippine budget airline said.
Stringent scrutiny of travel documents by Immigration officers at the departure terminals in Manila could be one of the major factors, according to the source.
