UK. Dufry has renewed its duty free contract at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) for a further eight years.
Dufry currently operates a main 730sq m shop in the departures lounge (upper retail level) and an express store on the lower level. The agreement foresees an increase in retail space to 820sq m.
Dufry will also refurbish the main store and extend the existing product assortment, offering several new brands across categories such as P&C, wines & spirits and confectionery.
Dufry CEO Julían Díaz said: “We are very pleased with another successful renewal, which further strengthens and enhances our concession portfolio in the UK. With our dense network of operations, we are well positioned to capture and benefit from the increasing interest in the UK as a tourist destination.
“We look forward to maintaining and further building on our strong relationship and successful partnership with LJLA, supporting further collaboration for both parties and bringing an even better shopping experience to travellers in a world class shopping environment.”
Liverpool Airport Commercial Director Lucy O’Shaughnessy added: “We are delighted to be entering a new contract with Dufry and are excited about the new store development. The new store will be the next step in further improving the retail offer and enhancing the customer’s experience here at Liverpool John Lennon Airport and will be the centre of the new development being completed this year.”
Liverpool Airport is a key gateway to north-west England and handles close to three million departing passengers per year.
