New retail outlets set to boost MAHB growth
MALAYSIA Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has completed the first phase of its satellite retail optimisation project (SROP) at the KL International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang, which began in May this year and due for completion end-2009.
With the completion of the East Zone, the airport operator will continue to work on the West, South and North zones soon.
The East Zone boasts more than 12 new outlets at the satellite building, including Choc Shop International, Dome, Eraman Malaysia, Harrods and Pusrawi Medicare.
The launch of East Zone yesterday also marked the start of the second phase of the KLIA Shopping Campaign, which offers RM2.7 million of prizes at the KLIA and the low-cost carrier terminal LCCT.
MAHB managing director Datuk Seri Bashir Ahmad said the company is expecting a one to two per cent growth in passenger arrivals at all 39 airports it operates in the country in 2009.
"The growth will partially be attributed to the availability of more retail space and reduced operating costs," Bashir told reporters after the launch of the East Zone retail units.
