But the fact remains that there are not many airports in Malaysia especially non state capital cities have been able to cross the 1 million milestone.<\/p>\n<p>So when Sandakan Airport, located just a few KMs away from the beautiful Sandakan city in Sabah, was able to reach the 1 million mark on 23<sup>rd<\/sup>December 2019, it calls for a major celebration. After all, this achievement is a success of a good collaboration, coordination and aspiration in driving Sandakan as a tourist and business destination.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Sandakan Tourism Association (STAN), AzuanZahdi.com was invited to be part of this memorable day for Sandakan Airport, the local authorities, Government stakeholders, airlines and of course STAN.<\/p>\n<p>It was my first trip to Sandakan, so the event was also a perfect \u00c2\u00a0way for me to have a glimpse on what Sandakan has to offer as a destination.<\/p>\n<p>With multiple direct daily flights from KL operated by AirAsia and Malaysia Airlines, getting to Sandakan has never been easier. KL and Kota Kinabalu also serve as the main transit points for foreign tourists visiting Sandakan so this is bound to grow especially 2020 being a Visit Malaysia Year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23256\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/1-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-39.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-39-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-39-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-39-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/1-39-1600x1201.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/\/2-39.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-39.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-39-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-39-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-39-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.azuanzahdi.com\/wp-content\/2-39-1600x1201.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward a few hours later, we were personally welcomed at the airport.
