Avolta operates the Zurich Duty Free stores at Zurich Airport across a total of 17 locations and has been an important commercial partner for many years. Zurich Airport Ltd. and the world's leading travel retail and travel food & beverage provider share a long-standing and successful collaboration. With the contract extension, both companies will continue their partnership in the duty-free business. The extension also includes the convenience and food & beverage segments.
Zurich Airport Ltd. is delighted to continue its successful partnership with Avolta and to further develop the commercial experience at Switzerland's largest airport together.
Planning Certainty and Further Development of the Offering
The early renewal of the concession agreements provides planning certainty and enables continued targeted investment in the further development of commercial areas. At the same time, it ensures that passengers will continue to benefit from an attractive and comprehensive offering, even during construction-related restrictions as part of the Dock A replacement project.
Innovation Hub at The Circle
In addition, Avolta will further expand its presence at The Circle, Zurich Airport's business and services centre, and continue to develop the location in a targeted manner. As part of "Avolta Next", innovations will be developed and tested there and made visible across Avolta's operations. This will position Zurich Airport as an innovation hub within the Avolta Group.
This extension reflects the strength of our partnership with Zurich Airport, a proof point of our combined business model, and the confidence placed in Avolta's ability to deliver consistently at scale.
