The airport operator has said it is looking or operators that can create a strong sense of place to operate one of three concepts (travel convenience, gifts/ unique local concepts or duty free) in the available retail locations.
Up to five retail locations will be in the landside area, up to five will be in the post-security area and there will be one an arrivals duty-free store. The available units in the airside area are spread across 714sqm and the available landside units cover a total of 175sqm.
Proposals are due on 27 November, with the airport then set to evaluate the proposals on organisational data (15%), concepts and design (25%), operating strategy (30%) and financial capability (30%). The contract is then expected to be awarded in early 2019.
