KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), which will start awarding concessions to retailers for KLIA2 in April, expects the concessionaires to help it achieve annual sales of RM1.6bil once the new low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) runs at full capacity.
MAHB is currently registering annual sales of RM1.3bil from all 39 airports it operates. Of this, RM900mil is derived from sales at the KL International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang.
“We are currently evaluating tender bids for the first phase of retail concessionaires at KLIA2. We will start awarding in April.
“Everything has to be ready for operations by April 2013,” senior general manager, commercial services, Faizah Khairuddin said at a briefing on KLIA2 yesterday.
She explained that MAHB had called for tender in January for the first of three phases, comprising 27 units, and conducted a briefing last December.
She added that MAHB was awarding the concessions on a zone-by-zone basis so that interested parties would be able to see the development of surrounding areas.
KLIA2 will have 225 outlets, comprising 118 lots for retail, 81 for food and beverage, and 26 for services. KLIA2 has a total retail space of 35,200 sq m.
Faizah said the concessions would be awarded in three phases. Briefings for the second phase, which involves 39 units at KLIA2, will be on Feb 29 and March 6.
She added that MAHB projected annual sales of RM1.6bil in five years when KLIA2 was expected to be running at full capacity of 30 million passengers a year.
The airport operator is also targeting passenger spending of RM40 per pax compared with the current RM22 at the existing LCCT.
In its first year of operation, KLIA2 is expected to generate revenue of RM180mil, including from advertising space.
