Flemingo awarded Pune Airport duty free concession as ITDC secures Coimbatore contract – 09/02/09

INDIA. Flemingo Duty Free Shops, the sole bidder, has been awarded the Pune Airport duty free concession by Airports Authority of India.

ITDC has gained the duty free contract at Coimbatore Airport, where the state-owned group was in a two-way contest with Flemingo.

Pune Airport offers 60sq m of retail space (40sq m in Arrivals, 20sq m in Departures); Coimbatore has a small 13sq m Arrivals offer only.

Passenger figures for the airports last year were Pune 32,035 and Coimbatore 52,288.

The contracts run for three years but could be shorter if the airports are leased out under the government’s Public-Private-Partnership Act before the concessions have run their course.
