HUNGARY. Budapest Airport is calling for expressions of interest (EOI) from retailers for a series of opportunities at SkyCourt and Terminal 2A.
Spanning 550sq m, the gateway’s new commercial space will be for Hungarian souvenirs and fine food, fashion and accessories, as well as watches and jewellery.
Several new five-year contracts are available as Budapest looks to boost its retail proposition.
Retailers have been requested to present EOIs to retailtender@bud.hu. Interested parties can bid for one, all or a combination of the offered shops. The submission deadline is close of business on 3 April 2017.
A Request for Proposals containing all relevant information for preparing the bids will be issued after all received EOIs have been reviewed.
Budapest Airport Chief Commercial Officer Kam Jandu commented: “In the last two years, we have seen passenger numbers increase by around +23% and with growth forecasts continuing to project best-in-class levels, now is an ideal time for any potential new retailers to join Budapest Airport in what we believe are extremely high-yielding segments of SkyCourt and Terminal 2A.
“Our fantastic year-to-date 2017 traffic results will play an important role in attracting the dynamic and relevant players we wish to see at Budapest Airport.”
Budapest Airport completed a major phase of reconstruction and store openings at its SkyCourt commercial area last summer. The airport has added +50% more space since winter 2015, with 6,000sq m of new or upgraded retail and F&B outlets.
The new-look SkyCourt was officially opened last May, as reported. Among last year’s additions were a 38sq m Swarovski unit in Terminal 2A and a watch island in 2B. These complement the 1,500sq m Heinemann Duty Free store, and branded stores from the likes of Desigual, Tommy Hilfiger and Hugo Boss.
