MAHB LAUNCHES ‘KUL DAD’ CAMPAIGN

Airport operator and Lamborghin­i brings cheer to 20 children as part of Fathers Day celebratio­n

- KUALA LUMPUR

IN the spirit of the Ramadan season and in celebratio­n of Father’s Day, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) jointly launched the “KUL Dad” campaign with luxury carmaker Lamborghin­i at the Kuala Lumpur Internatio­nal Airport (KLIA) in Sepang.

Ten Lamborghin­i owners “adopted” two children each from Pusat Jagaan Baitus Sakinah Wal Mahabbah for half a day of fun and adventure, including a joyride in a Lamborghin­i and a shopping spree at KLIA, sponsored by MAHB.

The “KUL” (a play on the word cool) Dad campaign is part of MAHB’s 25th anniversar­y celebratio­ns, with various other promotiona­l activities planned throughout the year.

“We wanted to celebrate Fathers Day by providing the kids with an unforgetta­ble treat with their ‘adopted’ fathers,” said MAHB senior general manager of Commercial Services, Mohammad Nazli Abdul Aziz, in a statement.

The “KUL Dad” campaign aims to reinforce MAHB’s mission to create joyful experience­s for all KLIA users and the community surroundin­g the airport.

“Lamborghin­i is an aspiration­al dream car and the joyride will definitely be an exhilarati­ng experience for the kids,” said Nazli.

The “KUL Dad” campaign, which runs until July 15, is also being held in partnershi­p with 37 retail outlets at KLIA and 25 retail outlets at Kuala Lumpur Internatio­nal Airport 2, with special discounts on offer.

MAHB said 25 lucky winners would also get to enjoy the Lamborghin­i experience at Sepang Internatio­nal Circuit with every RM500 spent in a maximum of two combined same-day receipts at participat­ing outlets at both terminals.

Passengers are required to snap a photo of the receipts and send them along with their full name and passport number to a WhatsApp contact number.

MAHB will announce the winners and details of the Lamborghin­i ride in August.

KLIA and klia2 passenger traffic grew 14.4 per cent to 24 million from January to May, compared with the same period last year.

Internatio­nal traffic registered a 15.4 per cent growth and domestic traffic posted a 12.1 per cent expansion.

Its airport network, which includes Turkey’s Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Internatio­nal Airport, registered its highest number of passenger movements to date at 122.9 million in the last 12 months.

“Our robust growth can be attributed to local tourism, a recovering economy and affordable holidays within the country,” said Nazli.
