NETWORK STRATEGY
Malaysia Airlines has its main hub at Kuala Lumpur from where it links to a worldwide network. However the carrier also has a secondary hub at Kota Kinabalu which is a natural gateway to Borneo for traffic from China, Taiwan, North Asia, Indonesia and Australia. There is also significant room for growth at Kota Kinbalu (BKI), which is capable of handling 12 million passengers per year.
