The grand prize and monthly prize winners will be featured online in FlyKLIA (http://flyklia.com), a travel portal by Malaysia Airports. Through this portal, they will be given the opportunity to share their experience of travelling on board Malaysia Airlines as well as their adventures while touring the cities.
By documenting the travel experiences of the winners on FlyKLIA, Malaysia Airports hopes that the stories will go on to inspire, give ideas, and provide tips to other potential travellers who want to create their very own travel itinerary.
Malaysia Airports senior general manager for commercial services, Nazli Aziz said the annual Shopping Campaign is aimed at rewarding travellers for supporting the retail offerings at the international airports.
“As part of Malaysia Airports’ mission to enhance the Total Airport Experience for travellers, we have embarked on several initiatives to create joyful Malaysian experiences. The Shopping Campaign, which incorporates elements of rewarding travellers through the Licence to Win contest, is one of our ways of enhancing the entire travel and airport experience,” he added.
“It is also our hope that such thematic campaigns will help spur travel retail spending in tandem with the expected increase in passenger movements,” said Nazli, adding that the massive growth in passenger traffic at the international airports and the on-going increase from travel retails sales enable Malaysia Airports to offer lucrative prizes for this year’s contest.
Nazli also noted that passenger traffic at its international airports grew by 4 per cent for the January – May period of this year to 34.5 million passengers compared to the same period of last year. KLIA itself recorded a 3.3 per cent growth to 24.7 million passengers.
Movement of international passengers alone, at all the international airports, grew by 7 per cent between January and May this year, as against the number recorded in the corresponding period of 2017. The overall passenger traffic is projected to increase this year based on expected improvements in economic conditions, opening of new routes and increased seat capacity offered by airlines, he said.
He added that retail sales for the period between January to May this year -- at the international airports operated by Malaysia Airports -- continued the upward trend, with a 6 per cent year-on-year growth to RM1.102 billion, with KLIA and klia2 posted a 4 per cent growth.
Nazli said the overall sales per passenger at the international airports stood at RM32 for the January-May 2018 period, compared to RM31 in the same period of last year. At KLIA and klia2, sales per passenger was registered at RM47 and RM30 respectively for the same period.
The encouraging growth in the overall passenger traffic and average sales per passenger as was recorded in the first five months of this year, bodes well for the retailers, concessionaires and Malaysia Airports in the latter’s effort to make airport shopping a joyful experience, he added.
