Malaysia Airports Senior General Manager of Commercial Services Nazli Aziz said the campaign aims to reward shoppers while highlighting the diverse selection of commercial offers available.

“This initiative perfectly aligns with our Commercial Reset strategy, a key initiative to transform our airports from mere transportation hubs to premiere lifestyle destinations,” he said.

“As of June 2019, the number of passengers at our international airports in Malaysia for the January to June period grew by +4.2% compared to the same period last year. This saw a total of 43.4 million passengers passing through our doors, signifying the opportunity for growth in airport retail. With retail incentives such as ‘Licence To Win’, we hope to further entice airport guests to shop and enhance their total airport experience by offering lucrative prizes,” added Nazli.
