Dufry extends Brazil footprint with duty paid store at Vitória Airport

BRAZIL. Dufry has opened a duty paid store at Vitória airport after striking a ten-year contract with Zurich Airport Brasil.

The 350sq m departures walk-through store features perfumery & cosmetics, liquor, confectionery and luxury accessories. Brands available include Chanel, Dior, Veuve Clicquot, Swarovski, Sunglass Hut and Lindt and more.

The airport serves around three million passengers a year.

The partnership between Dufry and Zurich Airport Brasil is already in place at Florianopolis and Belo Horizonte airports.

Dufry General Manager Brazil Gustavo Fagundes said, “We are extremely proud to have been awarded this contract in Vitória. Zurich Airport Brasil, a subsidiary of Flughafen Zürich AG, aims to be more than just an airport operator and is focused on connecting with the locations and cultures in which it operates, and on offering the best experience to its passengers in terms of customer service and facilities.

“These are values that Dufry also shares and as the leading global travel experience player, we have used our extensive knowledge and expertise to deliver the best possible shopping experience to the three million plus passengers who visit Vitória airport each year. I also take this opportunity to thank the team at Zurich Airport Brasil for the trust they have shown in us.”

Zurich Airport Brasil CEO Ricardo Gesse said, “Dufry’s arrival at the airport raises the bar for Vitória’s commercial mix, as it brings brands and products that were previously not found in the city.” ✈
