US. DFASS has scored a double contract victory by retaining its Delta Airlines inflight retail concession and winning the concession onboard Delta’s subsidiary Northwest Airlines, The Moodie Report has learned.
Although DFASS was unavailable for comment, according to very reliable sources in the vendor community the company will begin the Northwest contract on 1 April.

The Northwest concession is currently held by ISG On Board Enterprises Ltd. With the Northwest gain, DFASS now controls the duty free programme onboard what has become the biggest airline in the world.
The news is a welcome boost to the ambitious Miami-based company owned by Benny Klepach. In 2008 it extended its global reach by securing the Gulf Air contract out of Bahrain, following its success in securing the blue-ribbon Singapore Airlines contract from early 2007.
It also runs a host of other prominent inflight accounts, ranging from American Airlines to Continental, Air Canada to TAM.
