Avolta AG (SIX: AVOL) has secured an eight-year extension for its travel retail operations at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). The agreement covers over 1,400m2 in Terminal 4, the airport’s busiest terminal.
The extension covers travel convenience, specialty retail and duty-free, with Avolta continuing as Phoenix Sky Harbor’s exclusive duty-free retailer. The offer is designed to serve both domestic and international travelers through a mix of travel essentials, local concepts and global brands.
Avolta’s duty-free assortment is tailored to the airport’s key international routes, including tequila selections for Mexico-bound passengers, premium bourbons for travelers to Canada and prestige skincare for passengers flying to major East Asian destinations. Across Terminal 4, Avolta brings a stronger sense of place through concepts that reflect Phoenix, Arizona and the surrounding Valley communities.
