Greater Bay Airlines launches HK-Tawau charter flights
The service will run until 26 March.
Hong Kong-based carrier Greater Bay Airlines launched charter flights from Hong Kong to Tawau in Sabah, Malaysia.
The inaugural flight, which was serviced by a Boeing 737-800 aircraft, landed at Tawau Airport on 20 January.
This marks the city’s first charter flight this month, following charter services by Loong Air from Shenzhen and AirAsia from Shanghai in December 2025, as well as scheduled flights by Juneyao Airlines from Shanghai.
The airline will operate the three-hour-long charter flights twice a week, on Tuesday and Saturday, until 26 March.
Flights from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) to Tawau Airport (TWU) depart at 4:45 pm and arrive at 8:00 pm. The return flight from Tawau to Hong Kong departs at 9:00 pm and arrives at 12:20 am the following day.
“Hong Kong travellers now have a direct gateway to Tawau’s natural wonders, such as the Tawau Hills Park, world-class seafood, and the breathtaking islands of Semporna. It is a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and the opportunity to support our local products,” YB Datuk Jafry Bin Ariffin, Sabah’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment said.
