This week on Instagram: Malaysia, Schiphol and Hamad highlights; Dior’s breakthrough launch

Social media has emerged as a key unofficial source of information in the digital age. As The Moodie Davitt Report steps up its mission to become ‘the KOL of B2B travel retail publishing’ (a phrase coined by leading Chinese WeChat platform Globuy), our regular weekly feature curates some of the most exciting travel retail industry updates from the social media sphere – and touches on our own contributions.

This week on Instagram airports airports around the world welcomed new and exciting additions and celebrated key travel retail milestones.

Malaysia Airports welcomed its newest resident, the Discus Fish, as it unveiled a new freshwater aquarium in Kuala Lumpur International Airport. According to the company, the new aquarium will give travellers a ‘unique and soothing experience’ as they pass through the Departure Hall.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles International Airport welcomed the return of American Radio Host Henry Rollins, who gave some top tips on navigating LAX like a pro. The video is the second in a series called ‘Rollins Rules’ that aims to educate passengers on the A-Zs of travelling through the west coast American gateway.

Elsewhere, Hamad International Airport celebrated its recent nomination for ‘World’s Best Airport’ at the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2020 with a stunning animated film; while Amsterdam Airport Schiphol looked back on the highlights of 2019 with a video tribute.
