Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo, is served by Kota Kinabalu International Airport (BKI), located approximately 8 km southwest of the city center. The airport is the second busiest in Malaysia and the main gateway to Sabah's attractions. Several airport transfers to city center options are available, including taxis, ride-hailing services, airport buses, and rental cars.
