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 />

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 />
