Enrique Urioste, President & CEO Latin America & Caribbean at Avolta.

Avolta has extended its long-standing partnership with Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico (GAP), securing its travel retail operations across four major Mexican airports while paving the way for further expansion.

The long-term contract extensions cover Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos and Bajío International Airports, which together handle more than 30 million passengers each year. The agreement builds on a relationship between Avolta and GAP stretching back almost three decades, and importantly gives the travel retailer room to grow alongside Mexico’s expanding airport infrastructure.

Planned terminal developments at Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta will both create additional commercial opportunities, with Avolta expected to open at least three new duty-free stores in each terminal as they become operational. Across the four airports, its stores will continue to balance major international brands with products that reflect Mexico’s culture, heritage and gastronomy, bringing a stronger sense of place to the offer for both domestic and international travellers.

Enrique Urioste, President & CEO Latin America & Caribbean at Avolta, said: “These extensions reinforce our long-standing partnership with GAP and strengthen our presence across four of Mexico’s most important airport locations. Building on nearly 30 years of collaboration, we will continue investing in innovative retail concepts that combine international brands with the best of Mexico. We are particularly pleased to secure opportunities within the future terminal developments at Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, providing a strong platform for continued growth in the years ahead.”
