Avolta strikes nine-year contract extension with Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte
The agreement covers 15 retail stores spanning a combined floor space of more than 3,000sq m across four major airports: Monterrey, Mazatlán, Acapulco and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.
MEXICO. Avolta has secured a nine-year retail contract extension with Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte (OMA) in its key Mexican market.
Avolta said the agreement reinforces the company’s longstanding presence in and commitment to the region and represents an important affirmation of its partnership with OMA.
The agreement covers 15 retail stores spanning a combined floor space of more than 3,000sq m across four major airports: Monterrey, Mazatlán, Acapulco and Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo.
Avolta (through its predecessor companies) has been active in Mexico since 1999. In the subsequent years, the travel retailer noted it has expanded its footprint through new openings and refurbishments of its expansive walk-through duty-free stores, offering a more seamless and engaging shopping experience.
With the integration of a distinct sense of place, the updated stores celebrate Mexican culture and craftmanship, showcasing local products, cuisine and souvenirs.
The result, Avolta claimed, is a retail environment that not only delights travellers but also strengthens the visibility and impact of partner brands.
Avolta LATAM & Caribbean President and CEO Enrique Urioste commented, “We are thankful to Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte and proudly announce the extension of our partnership, a collaboration that has been mutually successful for the past 25+ years and is now set to continue.
“As we journey towards our Destination 2027 strategy, we continue to provide travellers with premium experiences and exceptional services, based on a deep understanding of our stakeholders’ needs and market trends.”
OMA CEO Ricardo Dueñas noted, “Avolta has been a key partner for the group, delivering products that enhance the travel experience for our passengers at our airports.
“The continuity of this collaboration is crucial for us, as both companies strive to evolve in line with the dynamic travel market, ensuring we meet the needs of travellers today and tomorrow.”
