BRAZIL. Dufry has struck a new duty free and duty paid contract at Florianópolis International Airport, which is managed by Flughafen Zürich. The new partnership will see the retailer expand its presence to the new terminal, which opens in October. This will give Dufry an additional 650sq m of space across two duty free stores and one duty paid shop.
In departures, Dufry will open a 280sq m walkthrough duty free shop, plus a 170sq m store in arrivals. The assortment includes many brands that are sought after by Brazilians, said Dufry, among them Johnnie Walker, Lindt, Carolina Herrera, Lancôme, Dior, Armani, Ray-Ban, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein and others.
The new 200sq m duty paid store in the domestic departure lounge will combine retail concepts Dufry Shopping and Hudson. The product mix will include perfumes & cosmetics, confectionery, toys, wine and spirits, fashion & accessories, as well as beauty and luxury products from brands such as Chanel, Calvin Klein, Carolina Herrera, Dior and Samsonite.
The retail space dedicated to Dufry’s convenience concept Hudson, will offer beverages, confectionery, books, magazines and newspapers, stationary, electronics, toys and toiletries.
The new terminal, which will be inaugurated on 1 October, is four times bigger than the existing one and will double the annual passenger capacity to 8 million.
Dufry General Manager Brazil and Bolivia Gustavo Fagundes commented: “With the new stores in Florianópolis, we are expanding our service and providing to our customers an even more complete shopping experience accompanying the traveller along his whole journey throughout the airport. We are also very pleased with the confidence Flughafen Zürich has put on us and their support to continue and extend our successful partnership, which will continue with many other opportunities and achievements in the future.”
Airport CEO Tobias Markert said: “It was our wish to bring to the airport the international brands that many are asking for and Dufry is certainly able to fulfil this request. The new airport is a completely new experience. This is one of the-state-of-the-art airports, not just for Brazil. It’s really the world level of airports.”
