Currently, Terminal 1 of KKIA is used for regular fare airlines, while Terminal 2 is for low-cost carriers. The upgraded Terminal 1 will be able to cater to 10 million passengers annually, and Terminal 2 will be transformed into a full-fledged cargo terminal.
KKIA will also be able to cope with the anticipated increase in cargo volume, which, in 2006, was 19.2 million kg, an increase of 10.5% over 2005 figures, while cargo loaded rose 11.1% to 18.5 million kg in the same period.
Also in the pipeline is the expansion of the Sandakan airport, currently considered a second eastern gateway to Sabah.
A new airport in Lahad Datu is also being considered to accommodate Airbus 320 size aircraft which will support the development of aquaculture and tourism.
According to officials from Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, KKIA is expected to attract more flights to and from Sabah, especially from the Far East, such as Hong Kong, China and Korea, and Australia.
