The ATU Duty Free store at Tbilisi Airport carries local products along with international luxury brands
The refurbished duty free store operated by ATU Duty Free, a partnership between TAV Airports and Gebr.Heinemann/Unifree, has opened at Tbilisi Airport in Georgia.
ATU Duty Free’s new main store, which was reconstructed and expanded to 430 square meters offers close to 80 luxury world brands including Chanel, Dior and Armani, along with new brands added to its portfolio such as Dior MUP, Moncler, L'Occitane en Provence, Atkinsons, Kilian, Xerjoff and Rituals.
Ersan Arcan, ATU Duty Free CEO, said, "We are happy to add value to the most important airport of Georgia with our investment. Since the start of our operations at Tbilisi and Batumi Airports in 2007 and at Kutaisi in 2013, we have achieved significant growth in our duty free operation. In parallel with the expansion of our operation, our contribution to employment has also increased. We are glad to complete the expansion project with an investment of nearly EUR 800,000 (US$877,300) for the increasing number of passengers, the demand in duty free shops and our expanding operation in line with the future projection we have built for Georgia. Our new main duty free store at Tbilisi Airport will continue to offer passengers a unique shopping experience with a wide range of products, including local products, along with world-renowned elite brands in a 430-square-meter area.’’
