Picture Gallery: ATÜ Duty Free at Enfidha International Airport

ATÜ Duty Free operates a substantial 2,500sq m of space at Enfidha, where passenger capacity is an initial 7 million


TUNISIA. ATÜ Duty Free began trading in its newest location last month: Enfidha Zine El Abidine Ben Ali International Airport in Tunisia. The Moodie Report is pleased to bring you the first images of its duty free operations in Departures and Arrivals through the Picture Gallery below.

The state-of-the-art store design carries some design cues from ATÜ’s business at Istanbul Atatürk


An ATÜ Duty Free spokesman said: “We have managed to put together a state-of-the-art, wonderful new-generation duty free shop, a walk-through concept of 1,800sq m on the Departures level.

“This shop contains all the classic duty free products, a local corner where we emphasise the local flavour – as we like to do at every airport – and an important [zone] dedicated to fashion and accessories. This shop will be a very pleasant experience for tourists that are leaving from Tunisia.”

ATÜ Duty Free is the joint-venture partnership between airports group TAV and Unifree – the company in which Gebr Heinemann is a major shareholder and supplier.

ATÜ Duty Free pledged to broaden the offer, and has done so with a strong range of fashion, leathergoods & accessories


Flights began at Enfidha on 7 December, but the major flow of traffic will begin in February. The airport is managed by ATÜ Duty Free co-parent TAV Airports Holding. TAV has the operational rights to the location until 2047. Construction began on the new facility in 2007, with €500 million invested in the project. Passenger capacity is an initial 7 million, rising to 22 million as later phases are completed.

The Arrivals duty free channel (captured in the three images above) will prove a key contributor to the business
