I wonder what would happen to the consumer experience if AOT had more than one duty free operator at the airport(s)?

 

Silly me, this about how much they can squeeze from the tenant not what the ultimate consumer, the flying public, experiences or pays. They could auction different areas to get the prime rent.

Duty FREE?     They can keep that. Cheaper in the normal Supermarket and shops.

Amen that to digger70. Any duty tax break more than made up on profit end. Who buys this stuff anyway?
