Print Article E-Mail Article

Operator Airport Duty Free has denied to DFNI local press reports that its contracts at several Thai airports have been terminated.

The company insisted there would be no changes to its existing contracts until December 2001, when they are due for renewal. According to the reports, the Airport Authority of Thailand (AAT) had terminated the contracts at Bangkok, as well as at Chiang Mai and Phuket.

The reports suggested that the retailer had sold products at inflated prices outside designated outlets to people not entitled to buy them.

But a spokesman at AAT told DFNI that the operator¹s contracts were "under consideration".
