Dufry has won the tender to operate for eight years the duty-free and duty-paid stores at Recife International Airport in Brazil, where it has been operating for more than 26 years. Under the new contract, which lasts until November 2029, Dufry will deliver four new stores totaling 1,374 m², including a 431 m² walkthrough duty-free store in the departures area and a 595 m² duty-free store in the arrivals area. Both shops will offer a comprehensive selection of the core duty-free categories including perfumes & cosmetics, liquor and confectionery.

For the duty-paid offer, two redesigned shops will be located in the departures area, including an 80 m² store landside and a 268 m² store airside. Both will feature a Hudson convenience shop-in-shop concept and will offer a selection of the core product categories including perfume & cosmetics, liquor and confectionery.

The airport, managed by Aena, welcomes almost 9 million passengers each year and operates domestic and international flights 24 hours a day, thus playing an important role in supporting the economy of the city and the entire Northeast Region of Brazil.
