Airport Retail
duty free shopping at its best
Airport retail- and food & beverage outlets are home to a captive audience of millions of passengers ready to spend their time & money in-store.
Having passed ‘security’ while not yet being allowed to board their flight -normally busy- consumers finally have the time to physically experience brands & products. Feeling positively aroused about the upcoming journey and being surrounded by the airport’s pleasant shopping environment.
They see airports as an opportunity to touch, try and taste sought after items, and spend their time accordingly. Buying luxury items against ‘duty free’ prices and taking their purchases with them along their journey.

The future of
airport retail is not
what it used to be.
Customer journeys and customer expectations of commercial environments are changing. Current generations of airport passengers are avid users of digital shopping tools. They are buying, comparing and sharing online. They expect real-life shopping areas to be digitally enhanced, entertaining and full of surprises.
We help airport operators to adjust to these changes. Blending physical presence & available time with digital tools and a surprising commercial offering. Uncovering additional value in current- & future concessions -also when passengers are mostly browsing, instead of buying.
