Vietnam Duty Free opens at Hanoi's Noi Bai as Western Sydney and Paris retail plans take shape
Vietnam Duty Free has inaugurated its store at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, headlining a trio of travel retail developments that also includes the retail build-out at Western Sydney International Airport and a spirits collaboration at Paris Charles de Gaulle.
The opening at Noi Bai International Airport marks a milestone for Vietnam's travel retail sector, with the operator aiming to lift the airport shopping experience toward international standards at the gateway serving the capital.
In Australia, Western Sydney International Airport is assembling an expansive duty-free and specialist retail offer as it prepares to welcome its first passengers, a programme positioned around the commercial opportunities generated by one of the region's largest airport projects.
In Europe, Extime Duty Free Paris has teamed up with La Maison du Whisky on a spirits showcase at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, described as a creative brand activation within the terminal.
The three projects span Asia-Pacific and Europe and cover a mix of new store openings, retail planning and brand-led activation work.
No passenger volumes, contract values, store sizes or opening dates beyond the current period were disclosed in the material available.
