Putting a fresh and fun spin on the airport retail experience, Malaysia Airports launched the ‘Shop Like A Hero’ or #ShopLAH campaign earlier this month.

The new campaign aims to elevate the airport from merely a functional transportation hub to a premium shopping and dining destination in its own right.

Here's what Malaysia Airports has planned for this exciting campaign:

1. Exclusivity

You can definitely expect something unique, not just in terms of experience but also in terms of products. Malaysia Airports is working with a number of brands and retail partners to curate a slate of luxury products that is exclusive to the airports.

“The downtown retail sentiment is very sombre but travel retail at airports continue to go on an upwards trend,” says Nazli Aziz, Malaysia Airports’ senior general manager for commercial services. “This is a great opportunity for us to cater to our passengers who now value shopping experiences that provide a sense of exclusivity and personalisation.”

2. New Spaces

Apart from generating buzz on Instagram, the #ShopLAH campaign will see new and exciting changes happening within Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Langkawi International Airport and other terminals.

This includes the introduction of new retail zones – an entire fashion avenue, for example – that will create a more seamless shopping experience for passengers. They can also look out for a strong representation of Malaysian brands via Sense of Malaysia, which is expected to open in 2020.
