BRAZIL. Avolta has struck a ten-year duty-free and duty-paid contract at Manaus Airport, where it will manage four outlets across more than 1,000sq m of space.
The airport, which serves over 2.8 million passengers annually, is a new addition to Avolta’s network in Brazil.
The offer includes perfumes & cosmetics, liquor, food & confectionery, jewellery & watches, alongside accessories including fashion items, toys, and souvenirs.
The shops are located within the International and Domestic Departures and Arrivals Terminals, and will begin trading in December,
As a gateway to international destinations as well as a historical city in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon forest, the store designs are locally inspired and offer a strong sense of place, said Avolta.
Avolta President & CEO for LATAM Enrique Urioste commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded this new contract at Manaus Airport. Brazil has a key role in Avolta’s growth in the LATAM region and, by leveraging our extensive knowledge and expertise in this region, I believe we will be able to create unique and memorable moments for our customers, taking the airport’s shopping experience to a new level for the millions of passengers who visit this airport each year.
“We look forward to working in close partnership with VINCI to develop the retail experience at Manaus–Eduardo Gomes International Airport, as we move closer to creating a new travel experience revolution.”
David Thompson, Commercial Director for VINCI Airports in Brazil, said: “We are pleased to expand the partnership between VINCI Airports and Avolta in Brazil, where we have active contracts at Salvador Bahia Airport, by bringing an innovative retail experience to Manaus Airport.
“With the inauguration of a new commercial offering, passengers will have access to a diverse mix of international and local products, ensuring a unique experience following the terminal’s revitalisation works.
