The airline owns 10 ATR 72-500s, which operate between Borneo and the neighboring countries of Brunei, the Philippines and Indonesia. The company serves a total of 22 destinations.

Kuching International Airport sees a large number of daily flights and is one of the best for connecting the island of Borneo to the mainland. Air Asia, Malyaisia Airlines, MASWings, Malindo, Scoot and Wings Air provide connections to all parts of Borneo, to the peninsula's main cities, and to Indonesia, Brunei and Singapore. Just 11 km from the city center, cabs are the only direct and fast option.

Miri is a city in the state of Sarawak. Miri airport is the main point of entry for travelers wishing to visit this region. There are several direct flights to Miri airport from various Malaysian cities, including Kuching, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru.

Created in 1896, this historic railway line was reopened in 2011 for tourism purposes. It runs from Kota Kinabalu to Papar, via Putatan, Kinarut and Kawang, a little over forty kilometers on board carriages pulled by a superb Vulcan steam locomotive. The round trip takes 4h30, with two stops for interesting sights: the Tian Shi temple in Kinarut and the Papar market. A conventional train makes the same journey at a lower cost.

Kota Kinabalu has several bus terminals, depending on the direction the buses take.

The Northern Bus Terminal on Jalan Undan serves Sabah's remote east coast and the towns of Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Semporna and Tawau.

For towns in the west and interior of the state (Kudat, Kota Belud...), buses leave from Padang Merdeka in the city center.

For towns in southern Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei, buses leave from the City Park Bus Terminal opposite the High Court Building.
