Lagardère Travel Retail has opened a new Duty Free Express store at Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima, Peru, further strengthening its footprint in the Latin American travel retail market.
The newly launched outlet is strategically located near the boarding gates and is designed to provide travelers with a fast and convenient last-minute duty free shopping experience before departure. The concept focuses on speed, accessibility, and convenience while offering a curated selection of premium travel retail products.
The store features key duty free categories including perfumes, cosmetics, liquor, confectionery, gifting products, travel essentials, and accessories tailored to international passenger demand.
Expanding Presence at Lima Airport
The opening marks another milestone in Lagardère Travel Retail’s ongoing expansion at Lima Airport following its large-scale retail development at the airport’s new terminal in 2025.
The retailer previously introduced more than 4,000 square meters of duty free and duty paid retail space along with a significant food and beverage offering as part of the airport’s modernization project.
With the addition of Duty Free Express, Lagardère Travel Retail aims to strengthen passenger engagement throughout the airport journey while capturing growing demand for convenience-led airport shopping experiences.
Focus on Convenience and Passenger Experience
The new Duty Free Express concept has been developed to meet the evolving expectations of modern travelers who increasingly seek quick and efficient airport shopping solutions.
Located close to departure gates, the store allows passengers to make last-minute purchases without needing to spend additional time navigating larger retail zones.
The compact retail format combines accessibility with a premium product assortment, creating a seamless shopping experience for travelers looking for gifts, luxury products, or forgotten travel essentials before boarding.
Lima Airport Emerging as a Key Travel Retail Hub
Jorge Chávez International Airport continues to position itself as one of Latin America’s fastest-growing airport retail destinations. The airport’s expansion and modernization initiatives are attracting major global travel retail operators and premium international brands.
Lagardère Travel Retail’s continued investment in Peru reflects the company’s long-term confidence in the region’s passenger growth and commercial potential.
Industry analysts continue to highlight strong opportunities across duty free retail, luxury shopping, food and beverage, and experiential airport retail concepts throughout Latin America.
Growing Trend of Convenience-Led Airport Retail
The launch of Duty Free Express also reflects a broader global trend in travel retail, where airports and retailers are increasingly investing in smaller, convenience-focused store formats.
As international passenger traffic continues to recover and evolve, airport retailers are focusing on:
- faster shopping experiences,
- strategic gate-side retail concepts,
- curated product selections,
- premium convenience formats,
- and enhanced customer engagement.
The Duty Free Express concept aligns with the industry’s shift toward flexible and passenger-centric airport retail models designed to maximize both convenience and commercial performance.
