The stores, which will total around 4,000sq ft (372sq m), will be located in the airport's terminal B and will occupy existing outlets currently being remodeled as part of the terminal B renovation, and new units to be built over the coming two years. Two of the stores will be open 24 hours.

The stores are owned by National Air Ventures, a partnership between WHSmith USA Travel Retail, which manages 528 stores across the US, and Concourse Ventures Inc. WHSmith USA Travel Retail president and coo Peter Roche said: "We are thrilled to be an integral part of the retail offer at terminal B, and to be of service to millions of travellers to the gateway to New England."
