Dufry is pleased to confirm 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 largest airport in Brazil in terms of passenger numbers, handling over 11 million international and domestic passengers every year (base 2019).

Gustavo Fagundes, Chief Operating Officer for South America comments, "Dufry is delighted to have not only extended our current contract at Belo Horizonte International Airport, but to also have been awarded the contract to build and operate three new duty-paid stores. One of these will be a walkthrough "megastore" incorporating the latest digital technologies, alongside an extensive product mix comprising internationally renowned brands, exclusive products and new launches. Our sincere thanks go to our partners at BH Airport for the continued trust they have shown in Dufry."
