Several variables shape what you pay for a Kota Kinabalu–Shenzhen charter: the distance and prevailing winds on the day, fuel costs across the regions you cross, handling and landing fees at both airports, and the specific aircraft confirmed against live availability. International routing adds overflight permits and customs clearance to the final figure.
Both cities are served by several airports, giving flexibility on slots and routing:
Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia: Kota Kinabalu International Airport.

15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Kota Kinabalu to Shenzhen use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 162 km short after reserves on a 1,873 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Kota Kinabalu International Airport has 12,402 ft and Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport 12,467 ft, both comfortably beyond the 6,000 ft the largest types here need, so field length is not what decides the aircraft on this route — cabin size and range are.
Alternates within range: Hong Kong International Airport (12,467 ft, 38 km) · Macau International Airport (10,544 ft, 59 km) · Zhongshan Ferry Port · Shenzhen Nantou Heliport (2,150 ft, 15 km)
