INDIA. Leading travel retailer Avolta has struck a seven-year duty-free contract at Kolkata Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport.
Avolta will run six duty-free stores, two in departures and four in arrivals. The new concession expands its duty-free footprint in India beyond its current operation at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru.
Kolkata is one of India’s four major metropolitan cities and an important gateway for domestic and international travel. Avolta noted that the contract gives it access to a large regional catchment area served by the airport.
Avolta President and CEO Asia Pacific Freda Cheung said: “This new contract at Kolkata Airport is an important milestone for Avolta in India. It marks our first entry into the airport and strengthens our position in one of Asia Pacific’s most dynamic travel markets.
“We will bring our global duty-free experience to a major gateway in eastern India, while continuing to build long-term partnerships that support Avolta’s growth in India.” ✈
