Kota Kinabalu International Airport, abbreviated KKIA, is located just outside of Tanjung Aru, about 10-15 minutes away from the city. There are two terminals: the main KK International terminal and Terminal 2 that serves low cost carriers as well as full service airlines. Both use the same runways, but the terminals are separate.
To get from the terminal to the city you have to take the airport taxi. Vouchers can be collected from the taxi kiosk.
