There are ATMs and a currency exchange at the airport but if you're arriving late, it'll almost certainly be closed and the ATMs do not always work, so make sure you've got some Malaysian ringgit before you arrive as you'll need it for the taxi or the bus.

The sole international flight into the airport is operated by AirAsia to/from [[Kuala Lumpur[/url]], [wiki=1df24931995605930817fbdabf0fddc8]Kota Kinabalu[/wiki], and [wiki=458e4cbc78201c1aec5fc53a31c59378]Singapore[/wiki] . The [wiki=458e4cbc78201c1aec5fc53a31c59378]Singapore[/wiki] - Tawau service, however, has been discontinued by AirAsia since March 2010.
