RUSSIA. Inflight Sales Group (ISG) has struck an agreement with Russian partner Aeromar CJSC to offer duty free retail programmes onboard Aeroflot subsidiaries Rossiya and DonAvia with effect from 1 February. As we reported, ISG and Aeromar took over the Aeroflot concession from April last year.
The agreement further builds on 2014’s expansion for ISG, following tender successes in Japan, France, Singapore and Malaysia in the last six months.
