Two New Six-Year Contracts at Salvador de Bahia

Dufry has been awarded two new six-year concession contracts at Salvador International Airport in Brazil to operate an extended retail space with a total of three new shops, two of which will be duty-free and one of which will be duty-paid.

This new contract further consolidates Dufry’s strong footprint in South America and Brazil, where Dufry operates in 30 and 17 locations respectively and with Salvador International Airport being the 9^th largest airport in Brazil, serving 36 destinations.

With the new contract, a 788 m² walkthrough duty-paid store will be developed in the Departures Hall offering customers an extensive assortment of both local and international brands. In the International area, the total duty-free retail space of 825 m² will be divided across an arrivals and a departures store, which between them will offer a wide range of goods across all the product categories including beauty, liquor, food & confectionery, tobacco, toys & souvenirs, fashion and luxury accessories.

Dufry has had a presence in the airport since 2015, where it currently operates a 95 m² last minute duty-paid store. Dufry will now develop significantly more retail space for the airport’s 7 million passengers, of which 430,000 are international passengers, and take their airport shopping experience to an exciting new level.
