Malaysia Airports in collaboration with Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College (KLMUC) has created a temporary mural depicting the beauty and uniqueness of Langkawi. The project which was carried out in conjunction with the upgrading works at Langkawi International Airport is part of Malaysia Airports’ ongoing initiative towards providing a pleasant total airport experience and instilling a sense of place among travellers.

The 170-metre long mural, which is located inside the airport at the landside terminal, bears the artistic expression created by students from the Faculty of Creative Arts, Kuala Lumpur Metropolitan University College (KLMUC). The creation of the temporary mural, which took several weeks to complete, serves as a platform for the students to apply their talents and showcase their creativity for travellers from all over to see.

Malaysia Airports senior general manager for commercial services Nazli Aziz said the idea to create the temporary mural was mooted following the realization on the need to create a pleasant experience for travellers the moment they enter the airport, while the air terminal undergoes upgrading works.

On the upgrading works at Langkawi International Airport, Nazli said this involved significant refurbishing and upgrading of facilities at the landside terminal. When completed by end of August, the landside terminal will feature a contemporary design that will also enhance ease of movement for travellers. Travellers can also look forward to better retail offerings as there will be a diverse range of international and local brands.
