15 of the 16 aircraft we quote for Kuala Lumpur to Sandakan use both airfields and fly it non-stop. The exception is the Embraer Phenom 100EV, 128 km short after reserves on a 1,846 km leg — it would need a fuel stop. Kuala Lumpur International Airport has 13,530 ft and Sandakan Airport 8,202 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.
