Dufry Sharjah has opened a dedicated arrivals store at the new extension at Sharjah airport
Dufry Sharjah general manager Eugene Barry said: "It is early days yet to assess the full impact of arrivals shopping at the airport, but early indicators display a positive reaction among arriving passengers. Arrivals duty-free shopping is well-developed at other airports in this region and we predict that this outlet will develop gradually to facilitate arriving passengers at Sharjah. The airport authorities have created a modern and welcoming environment in the new extension, and we are well positioned to develop this retail opportunity."
Dufry operates the duty-free shops at Sharjah and also manages Air Arabia's inflight duty-free service. The airport is currently undergoing an expansion programme to upgrade passenger services. This is in line with significant passenger growth experienced in recent years. The completion of the new arrivals building will be followed by an additional check-in facilities and the expansion of airside and landside space for retail, food and beverage and general passenger services.
