Abu Dhabi Duty Free (ADDF) sales revenues showed significant growth in the first half of 2013, increasing by over AED108 million and reaching AED437.6m, representing a 17.4% increase compared to the first six months of 2012.
The figures reported a growth in revenue which is attributed to growth witnessed in the Spend Per Passenger (SPP). This SPP registered an increase from AED53.96 in 2012 to 55.10 in 2013, recording a 2.1% increase compared with the same period last year. This outstanding growth exceeded the 12.6% growth in passenger traffic that Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) registered in the first half of this year.
Abu Dhabi Airports’ chief commercial officer Mohammed Abdullah Al Bulooki said: “Revenue at Abu Dhabi Duty Free continues to outgrow passenger growth clearly due to exclusive shopping options. As the Midfield Terminal comes to realization, Abu Dhabi Airports will look to new partnerships with more retailers.”
The Midfield Terminal Complex (MTC), soon to be the new home of ADDF, has been designed to cater to over 30 million passengers a year and will include duty free shopping, dining, relaxation (lounges) and entertainment.
