USA. The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority is seeking proposals from potential partners for the duty free concession at San Diego International Airport, Terminal 2 West. In the initial phase the airport company has issued a Request for Qualifications.
A pre-submittal conference will be held at the airport on 16 May with proposals due by 7 June.
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority said: “The concession will provide our international airport passengers with a unique and elegant duty free/duty paid retail shopping experience.”
At stake is a five-year concession, which should be open to passengers by 1 June 2018.
The specific percentage rent and minimum guarantees will be determined through a subsequent RFP process after completion of the RFQ.
The incumbent is Duty Free Americas. The company had sales of US$506,956 in 2016, according to the airport’s RFP documents.
San Diego Airport handled 20.7 million passengers in 2016, of which 762,156 were international. The airport has non-stop international flights from T2 to Canada, the UK, Mexico and Japan. Non-stop services to Germany and Switzerland are scheduled to begin this summer.
