BRAZIL. Avolta has begun a six-year duty paid contract at Maceió-Zumbi dos Palmares International Airport, which serves the coastal city of Maceio in the State of Alagoas.
The company opened a 170sq m store in January at the tourism gateway, which is managed by Aena. The airport served 2.5 million passengers in 2023.
The departures walkthrough store carries perfumes & cosmetics, liquor, food & confectionery, jewellery & watches, fashion & accessories plus toys and souvenirs.
Aena Brasil CCO Juan José Sánchez added: “Aena has been working to provide amazing travel experiences to passengers at its airports. The offer of a new commercial mix – with more shopping, services, and restaurants – is part of the new approach implemented at airports in Brazil. We are pleased to have Avolta on board to carry out this project at Maceió Airport.”
Avolta President & CEO for LATAM Enrique Urioste said: “We are delighted to have been awarded this new contract at Maceió-Zumbi dos Palmares Airport and we would like to take this opportunity to thank Aena and the airport team for the trust they have shown in us.
“As the leading global travel experience player, we will leverage our extensive knowledge and expertise in this region to take the airport’s shopping experience to an entirely new level for the millions of passengers who visit this airport each year.
“We look forward to working in close partnership with Aena to deliver the vision they have for the retail experience at Maceió-Zumbi dos Palmares Airport, as we move closer to creating a travel experience revolution.” ✈
