VINCI Airports\u2019 and ARI officially opened their new Portugal Duty Free operation at 8 airports on June 1.<\/p>\n

1 June 2022 marked the official beginning of Portugal Duty Free, a partnership between ANA \/ VINCI Airports and Aer Rianta International (ARI). Portugal Duty free assumes the operation of the 8 airport duty free locations of Lisbon, Porto, Faro, Madeira Islands (Madeira and Porto Santo), and Azores Islands (Ponta Delgada, Santa Maria and Horta).<\/p>\n

During the next 18 months each store will be renovated according to both VINCI Airports\u2019 and ARI\u2019s sense-of-place strategy; each store will have an individually crafted identity, reflective of the local landscape and culture, to create a bespoke experience for passengers. Unique and innovative retail experiences will proudly showcase the best of local product and encapsulate the essence of Portugalidade.<\/p>\n

News of the Portugal Duty Free partnership was first announced in February 2022<\/a> when, following a competitive bid process, ANA \/ VINCI Airports selected ARI as their new partner of choice. Since then, close collaboration and coordination behind the scenes has ensued, ensuring a seamless transition for the local teams on 1 June and what will become a world-class experience for passengers.<\/p>\n

To mark the occasion, passengers travelling through Lisbon Airport embraced the celebrations with music, master mixologists, artisan Santini ice-cream and many other surprises at Lisbon Duty Free.<\/p>\n
