ARCHIVE PAGE: History of KKIA Terminal Two (2004 - 2015)

Prepared for historical reference and cultural preservation

Overview

Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) Terminal Two, locally known as LCCTKK (Low-Cost Carrier Terminal Kota Kinabalu), operated actively from the early 2000s until its closure in 2015. Officially launched on 1 January 2007, coinciding with Visit Malaysia Year 2007, the terminal played a pivotal role in Sabah's tourism and budget aviation sectors. Strategically located near Tanjung Aru Beach, with Sulug and Manukan Islands within short reach, KKIA Terminal Two was a vibrant entry point to Borneo for domestic and regional travelers.
