The tender was issued at the end of last year and the contract, beginning on 1 January 2020 covers 24 business units with a total area of 4,372sq m across both terminals.
The decision to award incumbent operator Lagardére Travel Retail the concession ahead of Dufry Group and Gebr. Heinemann was based on the quality of services, range of products and rent proposed. Participants currently have 15 days to appeal against the contract award.
Following the awarding of the contract, Prague Airport said it would acquire a globally strong duty free operator which would bring a much wider offer tailored to individual passenger segments.
Lagardére also vowed to deliver new exclusive brands, stylish and modern shop design, digital sales elements, new sales channels and an expanded local product offer.
