Following the signing of a ten-year concession contract with operator Zurich Airport Brasil, Dufry has opened a duty-paid store at Vitória Airport.
With a total retail space of 350m², the store is located in the Departures area and has a walkthrough format designed to engage the more than three million passengers who use Vitória Airport each year. Core product categories including perfumery & cosmetics, alcohol, confectionery, and luxury accessories are all represented, featuring globally recognised brands such as Chanel, Dior, Veuve Clicquot, Swarovski, Sunglass Hut and Lindt. A selection of fashion items, electronics, drinks and groceries will also be available.
Dufry’s arrival at the airport raises the bar for Vitória’s commercial mix, as it brings brands previously not found in the city
The partnership between the two companies is already at work at Zurich Airport Brasil’s two other Brazilian airports, Florianopolis and Belo Horizonte.
Commenting on the new contract, Gustavo Fagundes, Dufry’s general manager Brazil, said, “We are extremely proud to have been awarded this contract in Vitória. Zurich Airport Brasil, a subsidiary of Flughafen Zürich, aims to be more than just an airport operator and is focused on connecting with the locations and cultures in which it operates, and on offering the best experience to its passengers in terms of customer service and facilities.
“These are values that Dufry shares and we have used our extensive knowledge and expertise to deliver the best possible shopping experience to the three million plus passengers who visit Vitória Airport each year.”
Speaking on behalf of Vitória Airport, Ricardo Gesse, CEO of Zurich Airport Brasil, said, “Dufry’s arrival at the airport raises the bar for Vitória’s commercial mix, as it brings brands and products that were previously not found in the city.”
