Avoid Some Regions
UK FCDO: The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to the islands and dive sites off the east coast of Sabah, from Sandakan to Tawau and including Lankayan Island, because of the kidnapping threat. The advice does not apply to mainland Sabah or to the rest of Malaysia. Escalation in the Middle East continues to affect airspace and flight routings.
