This goes one step ahead in creating extra opportunities for shoppers,” he said.

Alpha Kreol India Private Ltd is a joint venture of Kreol Group UAE and Avolta and has a management contract with Cochin Duty Free.

S.Suhas, Managing Director, Cochin International Airport, commented, “These additions are designed to elevate the shopping experience for passengers. The Cochin Duty Free sales growth is significant, and I thank the entire Cochin Duty Free team as well as our partners, Avolta and Kreol Group for their contributions. Located near Departure Gate No.3, the Last-Minute Shop offers a range of travel essentials, from fragrances to chocolates, making it easy for travelers to grab any necessities before boarding. This shop ensures that busy travelers don’t miss out on essentials, providing a seamless shopping experience right at the gate.”

The Shop-on-Wheels buggy roams the airport concourse, showcasing a curated collection of products. Passengers can conveniently browse perfumes, chocolates, handicrafts and other items without leaving the waiting area near their gate. The Shop on Wheels is said to bring the shopping experience directly to travelers, making it more enjoyable and accessible.
