Leading travel experience player Avolta continues to extend its presence in the Middle East by expanding its operations at the new Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE.

Following the successful launch of 13 F&B concepts in the new Terminal A, Avolta is building on its partnership with Abu Dhabi Airports by introducing its first travel retail store concept, 'Presentedby', set to debut in early 2025.

With flagship stores in the fashion capitals of London and Paris, as well as in Dubai, Riyadh and Mexico City, Presentedby has established itself as an innovative space “truly reflecting the changes in consumer attitudes and trends”. Showcasing limited edition and exclusive sneakers and streetwear, the 210-square-meter store is expected to transform the airport’s retail offer with its immersive retail experience and customer-centric approach.

Attracting some of the biggest names in music, sports and the arts, the store will offer sneaker and street wear enthusiasts a place to shop, discover and share their love for urban culture.

Blending Presentedby’s sneaker and streetwear offer with a curated selection of Avolta’s certified pre-owned luxury accessories, bags and watches, travelers will have access to a forward-thinking and show-stopping store concept. Included in Avolta’s portfolio for the first time, the store will feature innovative and sustainable pieces with a focus on design, eco-friendly materials, alongside products produced at the airport with 3D printed material.

Luis Marin, President and CEO Europe, Middle East and Africa, Avolta, said, “We are honored to bring our experience to Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport, a standout in the region’s rapid growth and innovation. Through our Destination 2027 strategy, we are committed to continue enhancing the travel experience by seamlessly integrating our retail and F&B offerings to better serve travelers.
