USA. 3Sixty (formerly DFASS Group), in conjunction with TRNA, today announced that it had been awarded a ten-year duty free and duty paid concession at Nashville International Airport.
The contract also embraces several duty paid specialty stores, including a Kiehl’s boutique and an exclusive Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey concept store.
Nashville International Airport (BNA) was recently named the fastest-growing airport of its size in North America (5 million-20 million annual passengers), bringing in 13 million passengers to the city dubbed the capital of country music.
In addition to this robust domestic passenger growth, BNA’s international routes include several servicing Latin America, and a recently added British Airways flight to London.
The number of passengers using BNA is expected to grow to over 20 million by the 2030s. The Metro Nashville Airport Authority leadership has a stated goal of adding more nonstop destinations, increasing cargo service, and adding more international flights. To accommodate the projected growth, the MNAA has announced a US$1.2 billion renovation of the airport dubbed BNA Vision.
Major projects in BNA Vision include expanding and reopening Concourse D, constructing a new international arrivals facility, expanding the ticketing/baggage claim/lobby and building new parking garages. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2023.
3Sixty Senior Vice President Retail Operations Donna Maxwell commented, “We are very pleased to have been chosen to operate a new duty free concession at Nashville International Airport. The opportunities for both duty free and duty paid retail are growing at Nashville, and 3Sixty is excited to be a key driver for this growth.”
3Sixty also operates duty free and duty paid concessions in several other high-profile international airport locations, including Chicago O’Hare, Newark, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte Douglas, Denver, Dallas/Fort Worth, Ottawa and Philadelphia.
