GERMANY. Hamburg Airport has extended its travel-retail contract with long-standing partner Gebr. Heinemann by a further ten years, taking it to 2037.
“Our partnership with Gebr. Heinemann is built on mutual trust and a shared vision to continuously improve the passenger experience at Hamburg Airport. Together, we have achieved a great deal over the past 32 years,” said Hamburg Airport CEO Christian Kunsch.
Hamburg Airport Managing Director Berit Schmitz added: “And we’re far from done. With this contract extension, we are paving the way for exciting new ideas and strong future prospects – all in the interest of our passengers.”
Gebr. Heinemann Chief Sales Officer Florian Seidel said: “For more than three decades, we’ve enjoyed a trusted partnership with Hamburg Airport. We look forward to further developing our successful collaboration with fresh momentum – always with the ambition to continuously enhance the shopping experience for travellers.”
Director Sales Western Europe Tobias Bechinger added: “Over the past years, we’ve grown together with a strong partner at Hamburg Airport. Now, we’re turning our focus to the future, aiming to inspire travellers with true innovation and new retail concepts.”
A diverse retail offer
Gebr. Heinemann opened its first duty-free shop at Hamburg Airport in 1993, coinciding with the launch of Terminal 2 (then Terminal 4). With the opening of the Airport Plaza in December 2008, the company quadrupled its retail space and inaugurated a 1,400sq m flagship store directly behind the central security checkpoint.
Today, Gebr. Heinemann operates two Heinemann Duty Free & Travel Value shops at Hamburg Airport. The portfolio also includes the concept store ‘Destination Hamburg’, featuring souvenirs, fashion, delicacies and Nordic gift ideas.
Additional stores include a Heinemann Accessories shop with bags, leathergoods, jewellery and watches, a Heinemann Sunglasses store and a Montblanc boutique. The retailer also regularly introduces pop-up stores from international brands – most recently Swarovski – to add variety to the environment and experience. ✈
