This comes as global travel restrictions begin to ease and international travel slowly starts to pick up pace.
In a statement today, MAHB said the exercise was in the final stage of awards, with 808 lots tendered previously.
“This last leg of the tender for 226 commercial lots is the concluding phase to attract both local and global players to participate in offering new brands at our airports nationwide,” the company said.
“MAHB’s main aim is to enhance the retail offerings and provide a unique travelling experience to our airport guests.”
MAHB managing director Iskandar Mizal Mahmood said that before the pandemic, non-aeronautical businesses such as retail stores and eateries were responsible for nearly half the company’s revenue.
Commenting on efforts to offer more commercial units, he said: “We wanted to ensure that we are ready to welcome the return of passengers with exciting new retail offerings and experience, hence we welcome the participation of both local and global brands.”
