Extension of Concession by AENA for 26 Airports in Spain
The Spanish airport operator AENA SME S.A. has decided to extend Dufry’s current concession contract to operate duty-free shops across the total of 26 Spanish airports for a minimum of three and up to five more years. The maximum duration of the extended contract will therefore be October 31, 2025.
Dufry will implement and rollout to other airports the commercial initiatives and best practices which have been successfully launched and tested across five pilot airports (Barcelona T2, Malaga, Alicante-Elche, Gran Canaria and Bilbao) since June 2018 as part of the common program to identify and implement actions to improve commercial performance. These initiatives included pricing policy, improvement of shop design and layout, product assortment and brand optimization, marketing and digital partnership actions as well as sales staff incentives.
