USA. Miami-based omnichannel travel retailer 3Sixty Duty Free has announced a partnership with start-up charter carrier Global Crossing Airlines (Global X). Travellers can purchase from a broad range of travel retail products through 3Sixty via the onboard inflight duty free programme.
GlobalX is scheduled to begin operations in July with two aircraft, one Airbus A320 and one A321. It intends to grow its fleet by up to ten aircraft over the coming 18 months, including a widebody A330 and several A321 passenger-to- freighter aircraft.
“The transaction announced today represents an exciting opportunity,” said 3Sixty Chief Operations Officer Alex Anson. “Joining forces with GlobalX further expands our omnichannel footprint and continues elevating the travel retail experience for customers.”
In the initial phase 3Sixty will implement its inflight duty free programme. It also plans to include pre-order, home delivery, and an onboard pouring programme in future.
“Providing a diverse range of high quality brands for passengers onboard our flights from Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean was a major focus in selecting 3Sixty as our duty free partner,” said GlobalX Chief Marketing Officer Mark Salvador. “Their vast experience in travel retail makes them the perfect partner as we launch our airline service both domestically and internationally.”
3Sixty Duty Free operations will begin at GlobalX operating bases at Miami International Airport and Atlantic City International Airport, with plans to expand to other US airports.
