Abu Dhabi Airports on the look out for retail partners

As a completely new commercial development, bidders will have the opportunity to build and brand their chosen space from a blank canvas.

With the new Midfield Terminal Building (MTB) project progressing firmly on track, Abu Dhabi Airports on Wednesday announced that its subsidiary company Abu Dhabi Duty Free has launched its commercial process to attract global bidders to move into the eagerly-awaited new airport.

Retailers, food and beverage operators, and leading brands from all around the world are being invited to submit bids for commercial opportunities for the MTB which is due to open in July 2017. The process offers commercial partners the challenge of providing a sensational experience for travellers who are increasingly making the UAE an ever-more important destination.

As a completely new commercial development, bidders will have the opportunity to build and brand their chosen space from a blank canvas, rather than work under the constraints of an existing outlet.

Mohammed Al Bulooki, chief commercial officer of Abu Dhabi Airports said: “Abu Dhabi Airports is calling on ambitious, innovative retailers, food and beverage operators, as well as leading brands from all over the world to participate in this commercial process. Abu Dhabi Airports looks forward to working with such partners to make Abu Dhabi’s Midfield Terminal Building a jewel in the crown in the UAE’s transport infrastructure.”

As part of its commitment to forge exceptional partnerships, Abu Dhabi Duty Free will allow successful bidders from the retail and food and beverage sectors to work with international consultants to optimise allocated space and cater it to their own bespoke designs.
