One early realisation of the KLIA Aeropolis<br />
development plan is the establishment<br />
of Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang (MOP)<br />
which opened in May 2015. A joint venture<br />
between Malaysia Airports and Mitsui<br />
Fudosan, a Japanese real estate and retail<br />
property developer, MOP will be further<br />
expanded to eventually accommodate<br />
up to 260 outlets over 46,000 square<br />
metres making it potentially the largest<br />
retail outlet park in Southeast Asia.<br />
Inspiration<br />
What’s In Future for<br />
PASSENGERS?<br />
One initiative that Malaysia Airports is<br />
currently looking into is to improve the<br />
total airport experience for passengers.<br />
Over 40 initiatives have been identified<br />
that are aimed at providing visitors with<br />
a memorable and joyful experience such<br />
as enhancing check-in processes and<br />
developing mobile applications. For<br />
instance, the check-in process will be<br />
enhanced by implementing automatic<br />
bag drop counters which has proven to<br />
be successful at Sydney Airport where<br />
passengers can drop off their luggage in<br />
less than a minute. As for mobile apps,<br />
applications that can enable easy access<br />
to airport car park booking, premium<br />
airport services, airport guide and<br />
integrated online shopping directory<br />
would improve the total airport<br />
experience by quite a margin.<br />
