In an exclusive video interview, Ashish Chopra, Chief Executive Officer of Delhi Duty Free Services, recounts a year of two halves in 2022 in the presence of TRBusiness Editorial Director Luke Barras-Hill.

Chopra says that a tentative H1 gave way to a more buoyant H2, though market pressures such as inflation and the threat of recession cloud the outlook for DF&TR.

At Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport, where Delhi Duty Free Services operates at Terminal 3, continued attention is being directed towards optimising the commercial mix to reflect heightened demand for premium brands, particularly within beauty.

While acknowledging that holding onto healthy spend-per-passenger levels presents a challenge, it is one that the travel retailer is rising to as it phases in new brands in the months to come.
