August 21, 2006 - DUFRY, one of the world’s leading travel retailers has launched a promotion for its customers at its outlet in Sharjah International Airport. Linking with the Middle East’s first low fares carrier, Air Arabia, the two commercial giants have created an irresistible shopping attraction to passengers traveling through Sharjah International Airport.
Having set off to a quiet start, word is fast spreading on the draw being held at the Sharjah DUFRY outlet starting in August and running right through October. Passengers spending Dhs 200 at the DUFRY outlet can get a chance to win TWO return flights to any Air Arabia destination every month between now and October. Air Arabia now flies to 27 great destinations in 17 countries, giving this draw an irresistible lure.
Eugene Barry, General Manager of the Sharjah DUFRY said, “Sharjah International Airport is undergoing a major expansion program at the moment, and Air Arabia is playing a major role in changing people’s travel behavior in the region. We at DUFRY Sharjah work closely with Air Arabia on a daily basis. However we wanted to do an additional event at the Duty Free Shops in Sharjah International Airport that would capture the imagination of passengers and hint towards what passengers could expect in the future. We are delighted to be associated with Air Arabia in this joint promotion.”
Kyle Haywood, Commercial Director at Air Arabia added, “Duty Free purchases have always been part of an exciting holiday experience and for people with hectic schedules, shopping while waiting for your flight to take off or while waiting to be picked up can be a rewarding experience, especially during promotions. We look forward to welcoming the winners of this promotion on board to try the Air Arabia experience to any of our destinations.”
With increased growth in passenger traffic in the Sharjah International Airport, DUFRY Sharjah has introduced a wide range of prestigious brands and expects the monthly consumer promotion with Air Arabia to be a success. With a bonus of winning, DUFRY Sharjah is indeed a shopper's oasis at the Sharjah International Airport.
