Dufry AG announced that it has extended its current duty-free contract at Belo Horizonte International Airport in Confins, operated by a partnership of CCR and Zurich Airport, for a further two years, through to 2029. In addition, a ten year contract has been awarded enabling Dufry to continue to operate its current portfolio of four duty-paid stores, including the Dufry Shopping and Hudson concepts and to also build a further three new duty-paid stores, one of which will be a 670 m2 walkthrough store. This contract extension further consolidates Dufry's strong footprint in South America, with Belo Horizonte International Airport being the seventh lager airport in Brazil in terms of passenger numbers, handling over 11 million international and domestic passengers every year (base 2019).

Dufry has had a presence in Belo Horizonte International Airport since 2007, operating a total of 10 duty-free and duty-paid stores covering a combined retail area of 1,605 m2. This new contract to create four additional duty-free stores will further increase the retail space that Dufry operates to 2,228 m2. In all its stores, Dufry will continue to offer customers a wide range of goods across all the key product categories including beauty, liquor, food & confectionery, tobacco, toys & souvenirs, electronics, fashion and luxury accessories.

With shops spread across the whole airport, Dufry will be able to offer a world-class shopping experience to all customers, tailored accordingly, to best serve both domestic and international travelers.
