Helsinki Airport is to get a luxury retail upgrade as part of its new contract with travel retail giant, Dufry.<\/p>\n

Dufry has signed a seven year contract with Finavia to operate seven new luxury and premium retail shops at Helsinki Airport. A total of 700 m\u00b2 of retail space will be added in both the Schengen and Non Schengen areas of the airport. This contract further strengthens Dufry\u2019s position at Helsinki airport, where it will continue to operate its three main tax and duty free stores and several specialty units, occupying a total of nearly 4,000 m\u00b2.<\/p>\n

Three of the units will see the development of Dufry\u2019s own and unique specialized shop concepts: Collection, Timebox and Urban Attitude. Additionally, new luxury brands will also be introduced showcasing iconic international brands such as Longchamp, Coach, Jimmy Choo and Chloe, thus strengthening and enhancing the existing portfolio of luxury brands already present at Helsinki. Work to develop the new shops commences this year and will continue in phases through to 2021.<\/p>\n

The airport already hosts boutiques for Burberry, Victoria’s Secret and Boss plus many other top fashion names in multi-brand outlets. See https:\/\/www.finavia.fi\/en\/airports\/helsinki-airport\/shop-dine\/shopping-helsinki-airport<\/a><\/p>\n

This is an exciting time of transformation for Helsinki airport and we are proud to be part of it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Finavia\u2019s Vice President of Commercial Services at Helsinki Airport, Nora Immonen commented, \u201cWe are pleased with the shop concepts and brands Dufry offered.
