“We are very excited about our new project in Quito after ten years of absence“ |
Erasmo Orillac CEO Motta Internacional SA |
ECUADOR. Motta Internacional has been awarded the tender for the exclusive operation of the duty free stores in the New Quito International Airport in Ecuador, operated by Corporación Quiport S.A.
The company will trade under its Attenza Duty Free brand, the commercial identity for Motta Internacional´s duty free stores. Attenza currently has 38 operations in in Latin America, including stores in Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Mexico as well as the new Ecuadorian outlet.
The new airport is scheduled to open during the final quarter of this year and Attenza will operate 1,152sq m of retail space in its multi-category duty free stores there.
Motta described the airport as “one of a kind in the region”. It said the airport was the first in this part of the South American continent with a completely new infrastructure that allows higher passenger traffic and greater aircraft capacity.
Attenza Duty Free will have two locations in the airport: a walk-through store of over 886sq m, post the immigration counters for international departures; and a second 266sq m store in the international arrivals section.
Motta Internacional CEO Erasmo Orillac commented: “We are very excited about our new project in Quito after ten years of absence. Attenza Duty Free will bring our distinguished shopping experience to all the passengers traveling through this new airport.”
The agreement continues Attenza’s recent momentum in Latin America. It follows the company’s recent success in being awarded one of the two Departure duty free store contracts at the new El Dorado Airport in Bogotá, Colombia as well as that airport’s exclusive Arrivals duty free operation.
