Under a new 10-year contract, Avolta's walkthrough store will nearly double in size to become the largest store in the airport, integrating a convenience store to create a more efficient shopping experience. The addition of two new convenience stores support domestic business travelers with speed, accessibility and choice.
Gustavo Fagundes, CEO of Avolta Brazil, said: “Our expanded presence at Santos Dumont Airport reflects the strength of a partnership. By significantly increasing our travel retail footprint and adding two new convenience stores, we are creating a more complete offer for travelers while supporting the airport with formats that respond to passenger needs.”
“For Infraero’s Superintendent of Airport Business, this expansion reinforces the mutual trust built over more than two decades of partnership and is fully aligned with Infraero’s strategy of continuously enhancing the passenger experience at Santos Dumont Airport. The new space will bring greater comfort, convenience, and a wider variety of options, following a global trend in airport retail of integrating operational efficiency with a more practical and enjoyable customer journey. Initiatives like this raise the airport’s standards and directly contribute to strengthening regional aviation and the country’s main business corridors. We are pleased with this new project.”
Santos Dumont serves one of Brazil’s most important business travel corridors, increasing Avolta’s exposure to a high-frequency domestic passenger base while broadening the offer.
