    AirAsia abolishes KLIA 2 fee

    AirAsia Group Bhd will cease charging the RM3 klia2 fee for all flights departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (klia2) starting today. The klia2 fee was introduced in May 2014 to cover the additional cost created at klia2 due to the use of mandatory facilities imposed by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) such as aerobridges and SITA check-in and boarding systems, compared to the low-cost carrier terminal previously.

    “Following our announcement last week, we have removed the klia2 fee. We have said from the very beginning that klia2 is not fit for low-cost carrier operations, and we will be going directly to MAHB for all the extra costs they’re costing us,” AirAsia Malaysia CEO Riad Asmat said in a statement.

  • Citaglobal Airports’ proposal for new LCCT was supported by AirAsia

    Citaglobal Airports’ proposal for new LCCT was supported by AirAsia

    A proposal for a new low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) to be developed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) was made last year by a company called Citaglobal Airports Sdn Bhd, a move which looks to have had the backing of the AirAsia group, the largest user of klia2, the current LCCT.

    Documents revealed that the company’s director, Datuk Seri Mohamad Norza Zakaria, had proposed to then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak, via a letter dated Nov 24, 2017, the building of a new LCCT that will be able to accommodate higher passenger numbers, especially with the establishment of the Digital Free Trade Zone.

    Citaglobal Airports said it will be able to generate the required funds for the project from the private sector which will benefit the government in terms of savings on infrastructure and operation costs.

    In addition to that, it said UK-based airport operator Manchester Airports Group Plc indicated interest to manage and operate the new LCCT.

    The project was said to require 450 acres, for which Citaglobal Airports suggested the government transfer land rights from the Director General of Land and Mines to the Transport Ministry, which will then be leased out for the project for a period of 99 years.

    “The necessity for a new LCCT in KLIA will make Malaysia a leading hub in Asia with a ‘dual hub’, whereby the main KLIA terminal will house the OneWorld Alliance, klia2 will house other premium airlines and the new LCCT will accommodate the low-cost carriers,” the proposal read.

    Companies Commission of Malaysia records show that Citaglobal Airports was incorporated on Nov 2, 2017 and is involved in wholesale of goods without particular specialisation and management and business consultancy activities.

    AirAsia Bhd issued a letter of support for the plan via a letter dated Nov 2, 2017 which coincides with Citaglobal Airport’s incorporation date. The letter carried AirAsia’s letterhead and bore the signature of its executive chairman Datuk Kamarudin Meranun and copies were sent to AirAsia group CEO Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and AirAsia Bhd CEO Aireen Omar.

    The low-cost airline expressed its interest in shifting its operations to the new LCCT.

    “We understand that Citaglobal Airports Sdn Bhd plans to develop a LCCT at KLIA. We are in full support of this proposal as the aviation sector is a major contributor to the country’s economic growth and accords significant contributions to other sectors of the economy,” it said, citing a study by Bain & Co.

    Kamarudin said it would support Citaglobal by making the new LCCT the base for AirAsia Bhd and AirAsia X Bhd operations, have all flights operated by AirAsia group operate at the new LCCT and participate with Citaglobal to generate non-aeronautical revenue.

    Citing the recent increase in Passenger Service Charge (PSC) introduced by the Malaysian Aviation Commission (Mavcom) and the proposed equalisation of PSC at both airports, on top of other cost increases proposed by the commission and the Department of Civil Aviation, the airline said an LCCT with a much reduced PSC and cost for travellers is required to accommodate the low-fare travel segment while KLIA and klia2 could be used to accommodate premium airlines.

    AirAsia declined to comment in response to the matter.

    According to Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, AirAsia accounts for 95% of traffic at klia2 and they are the largest occupant.

    “Any new airport terminal construction will be under the purview of the Ministry of Transport and will need to get the government’s approval. We are currently guided by the existing National Airport Master Plan,” its spokesperson said, who added that it has not received anything official on the matter.

    The Transport Ministry was yet to respond to request for comments as at press time.

  • Eraman partners with Alipay in drive to attract Chinese consumers

    Eraman partners with Alipay in drive to attract Chinese consumers

    Malaysia Airports (Niaga) Sdn Bhd, known as Eraman, has partnered with Alipay, the world’s largest online and mobile payment platform, as it improves its services to Chinese shoppers.

    Eraman, Malaysia’s leading travel retailer, said it will now be able to tap into the 520 million-strong Alipay active user base. Some 4.5 million are Chinese tourists that travel to Malaysia annually. Those travellers visiting Eraman outlets will be able to pay with their Alipay personal QR code via their smart phone.

    Alipay is integrated into the merchant portfolio of Maybank and CIMB Bank Bhd, Malaysia’s two largest financial services providers, and uses the in-store on-line payment solution at all Eraman outlets nationwide. Eraman claimed that this new payment mode will improve Chinese travellers’ shopping experience at the airports.

    “Security and speed are important to us as we look to enable our Chinese travellers to walk into our outlets while travelling abroad and pay for purchases with the Alipay – just like they do in China. This Alipay in-store payment will act as the settlement, allowing Chinese travellers to pay for their transactions in Yuan without having concerns on the exchange rate. This is done through a simple swipe and barcode-scanning method,” said Malaysia Airports (Niaga) General Manager Zulhikam Ahmad.

    “All Eraman retail outlets in KLIA and klia2 including duty free emporium and lifestyle stores began accepting Alipay in June 2017. However Eraman food & beverage and retails outlets in Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Penang, Langkawi International Airport and Labuan Airport have begun to accept Alipay since the end of August. In China, this payment system is a way of life for shopping and many other activities, and given the growing number of Chinese travellers here, we are hoping for a high uptake,” added Zulhikam.

    In conjunction with this smart partnership, Eraman has launched a special promotion from 1 September to 31 December whereby all Chinese travellers using Alipay will be entitled to an e-voucher of RMB100 when they spend RMB1,000 at participating Eraman retail outlets. This e-voucher can be redeemed for the second purchase at Eraman outlets within 24 hours.

    Meanwhile, Alipay users will also be able to enjoy up to -10% off for purchases made at Eraman’s F&B outlets and its convenience store, EXpress. The discount can be used for a second purchase at Eraman within 24 hours.

    “As the premier retail brand under Malaysia Airports, Eraman has evolved over the last couple of years. We continue to diversify our offerings, embrace the many exciting possibilities and grow our presence in the leading airports in Malaysia. This is our way of providing the total airport experience by means of an alternate payment method and providing ease for our Chinese customers who happen to be one of our top three passenger groups in terms of nationality,” said Zulhikam.

    Chinese travellers contribute the highest ticket sales at KLIA and klia2. Eraman said it has recorded double-digit percentage growth in sales value with fragrances & cosmetics, liquor and tobacco boosted by purchases from Chinese travellers this year. Eraman said this was also due to a varied offer and competitive pricing compared to downtown on fragrances, cosmetics and liquor.

    Malaysia is ranked third in the region after Thailand and Singapore for the number of Chinese visitors it attracts each year. Eraman said it aimed to become “their preferred duty free retailer” as Malaysia rises in the rankings.

    Eraman added that it is keen to build “long term alliances with reputable partners and recognises this collaboration to be a major contributor to the company”.

    “The entry of Alipay marks a notable milestone in the growth of Chinese tourist arrivals and online transaction services in Malaysia, and we are proud to be part of this development. We look forward to a strong synergistic collaboration and we are happy Alipay is on board with us,” said Zulhikam.

    “We are excited to partner Eraman, a very strong player in the duty free industry. With this partnership we’ll help Eraman to reach out to more Chinese customers by utilizing the Alipay marketing platform to market various top brands and products offered by Eraman,” said Alipay Country Manager of Malaysia Greta Gunawan. “Duty free shops are always on the must-visit list of Chinese tourists. In the future, Alipay users can check shop details and special offers via the in-app Discovery platform even before they depart to Malaysia.”

    CIMB Group Chief Executive Officer, Group Transaction Banking Hendra Lembong added: “We are pleased to collaborate with Eraman in providing Chinese tourists a convenient and secure cashless payment experience in Malaysia with CIMB’s Alipay mobile wallet. As a pioneer settlement and merchant acquirer bank in facilitating Alipay payments in Malaysia, CIMB is confident of spearheading the growth of mobile wallet payment services in the country with its cutting edge expertise in transaction banking. We aim to not only support Malaysia’s drive for a safe and secure cashless society, but also provide our customers with a seamless banking experience within ASEAN.”

     

  • Alibaba to open Malaysian distribution hub

    Alibaba to open Malaysian distribution hub

    Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba is to open a Malaysian distribution hub at KLIA Aeropolis to serve its growing business in Southeast Asia.

    According to unnamed sources quoted by financial press, Alibaba founder Jack Ma and Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak will announce the project at an event in Kuala Lumpur next week.

    The new centre will be a major feature of a 1 million sqm KLIA Aeropolis development adjacent to the city’s international airport, under development by Malaysia Airports Holdings. The plan is to create a regional distribution hub, boosting air freight traffic and attracting US$1.58 billion of domestic and foreign investment.

    “Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has existing facility for Alibaba Group to pilot their distribution services here, and if (Alibaba) decide to expand in the future, there is the option to build more on other (undeveloped) sites in KLIA Aeropolis,” one source told Reuters.

    While Alibaba invested $1 billion to buy Singapore-headquartered online retail Lazada and has built a 14.4 per cent stake in Singapore Post, this will mark the company’s first investment in Malaysia.

    The KLIA Aeropolis is part of a planned Digital Free Trade Zone being established in Malaysia, details of which will be released during Ma’s visit to the country next week. Ma has been appointed a digital economy advisor to the Malaysian government.

  • Mitsui Outlet mall set for opening

    Mitsui Outlet mall set for opening

    Mitsui Outlet mall, located in Sepang, will finally officially open on July 29.

    The mall commenced trading in May with about 50 per cent of its stores completed. New stores have progressively opened and the first stage of the project is nearly complete.

    Located close to the original Kuala Lumpur International Airport terminal, and alongside a highway, the developers expect it will attract shoppers on stopover and from the nearby cities.

    Mitsui Outlet Park KLIA Sepang is the result of a joint venture (JV) between Mitsui Fudosan Co and Malaysia Airports Holdings. The outlet mall will be managed by the JV company, MFMA Development.

    About 130 stores are expected to be trading by the end of the month, but retailers have been struggling to find staff to work in the mall which is 60km from Kuala Lumpur city and 6km from the airport.

    With Japanese investment, the mall is promoting itself as Japanese-inspired and includes a ‘Japan Avenue’ with traditional arts and crafts, tea and food.

    The developers plan to expand the facility in 2018, as well as 2021, to become the largest outlet mall in Southeast Asia with about 250 stores and floor space of about 44,000 sqm.

    Stores offer luxury and branded products, fashion apparel and accessories, perfumes, cosmetics, confectionery, kids and sports wear, household items and luggage.

    A 24,000sqm foodcourt is included in the first stage of the project.

  • Jetstar Asia celebrates 2.5 mln passengers between KL to Singapore

    Jetstar Asia celebrates 2.5 mln passengers between KL to Singapore

    Jetstar Asia is celebratings its two and a half millionth passenger on the Singapore and Kuala Lumpur route, one of the busiest on the airline’s network.

    In a statement, the low-cost carrier said the milestone coincides with Jetstar Asia’s move of its operations to the klia2 terminal in Kuala Lumpur on July 8.

    Chan Kim Wah, a Malaysian national who works in Singapore, has won himself a RM1,000 flight voucher for being the 2.5 millionth passenger to travel between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

    After launching with one daily service in 2008, Jetstar Asia now operates up to 30 weekly services and continues to enhance the travel experience for thousands of passengers who fly between Singapore and the Malaysian capital each year.

    Marking the celebration in Kuala Lumpur, Jetstar Asia Chief Eexecutive Officer Bara Pasupathi said that demand for the route has continued to grow due to the strong business and cultural ties between the two countries.

    “Singapore travellers love visiting Kuala Lumpur, and our commitment to low fares has made more frequent trips for business meetings as well as great food and shopping more affordable.

    “The recent opening of Southeast Asia’s largest factory outlet malls less than two kilometres from the klia2 terminals will serve as new attractions for shopping-savvy Singaporean travellers to visit Kuala Lumpur more often,” he said.

    The malls are part of the KLIA Aeropolis, also known as Malaysia Airports’ airport city master plan.

    Meanwhile, Malaysia Airports Senior General Manager of Operations Services, Datuk Azmi Murad, said: “Airports are no longer just transit points but a destination in their own right.

    “klia2 is a shopping destination with a total of 225 retail and FB outlets throughout the terminal and nearly 200 retail and F&B outlets at gateway@klia2, a shopping annexe to the terminal which aims to cater not only to travellers but to the surrounding community as well.

    “We are delighted to welcome Jetstar Asia to the klia2 terminal today.

    They are joining an increasing number of airlines that recognise klia2 as an exciting, vibrant and convenient terminal especially in terms of its seamless connectivity and world-class facilities.” There are no changes to Jetstar Asia’s schedule and check-in facilities and timings as a result of the move to klia2, and customers can continue to use the enhanced web check-in service straight-to-gate in Kuala Lumpur.

    “The move to klia2, a purpose-built LCC terminal, is an exciting development for Jetstar Asia as our investment in self-service options like straight-to-gate will follow our customers to the new terminal,” Pasupathi noted.
