Dufry to Operate at Cayenne Int. Airport
Dufry has won a new, five-year concession contract to operate the duty-free shop at Cayenne – Felix Eboué International Airport in French Guiana, the French overseas region located in the North of South-America.
Cayenne airport served 550,000 passengers in 2019, and Dufry will start operations of the duty-free shop covering 120 m2 on August 1, 2021. With the newly won concession, Dufry further consolidates its footprint in Central and South America, a geography, which also includes the Caribbean and is considered as one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide.
The new shop at Cayenne International Airport will offer customers a comprehensive assortment of all the core duty-free categories including perfume and cosmetics, confectionery, tobacco, jewelry and travel accessories. Travelers will also enjoy discovering a refined selection of local food, rums and souvenirs which provide tourists with a great sense of place and authentic memories of this enchanting tropical region and its culture.
By adding French Guiana and the Cayenne airport operation to our portfolio, Dufry further strengthens its footprint in South America as leading international operator. The team is currently working towards developing the Cayenne airport duty-free shop to international standards to offer all its travelers an attractive shopping experience.
