Dufry Wins a Four-Year Contract Extension at Kuwait

Dufry has extended its duty-free contract to operate the two duty-free stores in Terminal 1 at Kuwait International Airport, for further 4 years until 2026. As part of the new agreement, Dufry will completely refurbish its existing stores – operated in partnership with That-Es Salasil – occupying a total retail space of 384 m².

The longstanding partnership of Dufry and That-Es Salasil is a proven cooperation, which has been successfully operating at Kuwait International Airport since 2006. During this time, both partners have built up a detailed understanding of the airport’s customer profile and expectations.

When the store refurbishments are complete, customers will be able to enjoy an extended product assortment and a new, curated selection of jewelry and sunglasses. These will complement the current product offerings featuring international brands covering all the main travel retail categories including perfumes & cosmetics, food and confectionery, as well as tobacco and luxury goods. Customers will also benefit from Dufry’s expertise in serving Middle Eastern markets, acquired over the many years of operating 26 duty-free shops at 5 airports in the region.
