KUWAIT. Dufry and local partner That-Al-Salasil have opened a new duty free store covering 470sq m at Kuwait International Airport’s Jazeera Terminal (T5). The terminal handles flights from Kuwaiti low-cost carrier Jazeera Airways, and has capacity for 2.5 million passengers a year.
The store offers over 3,000 items from key categories including food, beauty, travel accessories and jewellery.
Jazeera Airways CEO Rohit Ramachandran said: “Since the opening of the Jazeera Airways terminal, our customers have enjoyed an easy, fast and fully-dedicated gateway to travel from and back to Kuwait. With more services and features ready to roll out at the new terminal in the coming months, customers can today enjoy great products and offers at the new duty free after a short time spent checking-in and completing immigration and security checks. We are glad to have partnered with leaders in the field as Dufry and That-Al-Salasil, which have consistently served the local airport for over a decade.”
Dufry Divisional CEO for Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia and Australia Andrea Belardini commented: “We are delighted to have been awarded the contract earlier this year for the duty free operations in this impressive new terminal. Dufry and its partner, That Al Salasil, have been operating at Kuwait International Airport for over 12 years and have built up a detailed understanding of the market and the customer profile. We have used this expertise to help us create a world-class store, which we are confident will deliver an enhanced shopping experience to the Jazeera Airways terminal travellers. I would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to our colleagues at Jazeera Airways, with whom we have worked in close partnership to create this exceptional new store.”
