An innovative new commercial strategy by Malaysia Airports is elevating F&B standards across all its airports, with Langkawi International Airport (LIA) offering an exciting foretaste of more to come. Here are 5 new dining spots to enjoy when you're next at LIA.

Success stories like the annual 'KULinary' campaign at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Jewel Changi Airport and others have shown us that the airport needn’t merely be a place of transit, but also an exceptional hub for gourmands in particular.

Coincidently, F&B is a major focus of Malaysia Airports’ Commercial Reset Strategy this year. Langkawi International Airport has reaped the benefits of that strategy, now presenting travellers with some exciting new dining experiences, some of which are a first in Malaysia, if not a first on the island.
