Wholesome Food,

Made with Care

Our Story

Tabco Food Services Sdn Bhd was founded in 1994 by Dato’ J.J.C Rajan with a simple vision: to serve quality food travellers can rely on. What began as a small food and beverage operation has grown into a recognised airport dining operator with outlets across major international airports in Malaysia and Australia.

Over the past three decades, Tabco has built a diverse portfolio of food concepts designed for the modern traveller. From quick meals to casual dining, our brands focus on delivering food that is fresh, safe, and consistently satisfying.

Today, Tabco operates more than 20 outlets with a team of over 170 people across Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminals 1 and 2, Penang International Airport, Langkawi International Airport, Kota Kinabalu International Airport, Tawau Airport, Labuan Airport and Melbourne Airport.

With decades of experience in airport and travel dining, Tabco understands the unique needs of travellers – delivering food that is dependable, efficient, and enjoyable, wherever their journey takes them.
