INTERNATIONAL. As the industry gathers for the IAADFS Summit of the Americas in Orlando, the latest issue of The Moodie Davitt Magazine turns its spotlight firmly on the US market.
This edition is anchored by two on-location reports from New York John F. Kennedy International Airport, where a sweeping US$19.5 billion redevelopment is reshaping both infrastructure and the traveller experience.
In Terminal 4, we explore how JFKIAT is building what it calls “a terminal with soul”, placing New York’s boroughs at the heart of a reimagined retail and F&B proposition. From local partnerships to a renewed emphasis on design, technology and sense of place, the project offers a compelling blueprint for future airport development.
We also take you inside Terminal 8, where ASUR Airports and its partners are delivering a vibrant commercial programme. Here, a strong mix of global luxury, local brands and experiential concepts – including a standout speakeasy bar – is redefining how passengers engage with retail and dining.
Beyond New York, the issue captures a broader picture of a sector navigating both opportunity and uncertainty.
Duty Free Americas’ takeover of DFS operations at Los Angeles and San Francisco international airports marks a pivotal moment, while ARI North America offers insight into navigating challenging trading conditions and reshaping its offer at Montréal-Trudeau International Airport.
We chart 3Sixty Duty Free’s next phase following its share buyback from Hotel Shilla, as the company looks to sustain growth momentum across US airports.
This issue also examines evolving consumer dynamics in cruise retail with Starboard and Harding+, and the rise of mindful drinking as Paradies Lagardère responds to growing demand for no- and low-alcohol options in airport F&B.
Please enjoy this edition with our compliments. ✈
