DFS Group exits Changi Airport's liquor concession

South Korea-based Lotte Duty Free will take over the concession.

Hong Kong-based luxury travel retailer DFS Group is making its exit from Singapore Changi Airport’s wines and spirits concession by 8 June, according to a press release.

Taking over the liquor and tobacco concession in the airport is South Korea-based Lotte Duty Free, after winning the tender conducted by Changi Airport Group (CAG) on 25 October. Lotte Duty Free expressed plans to redesign all 18 liquor and tobacco stores in phases.

Since winning the liquor and tobacco concession in 1985, DFS Wines and Spirits has operated stores across the airport, including Terminal 1, Terminal 2, the Duplex store at Terminals 2 and 3, and the first ‘walkthrough’ retail concept store at Terminal 4.

DFS will continue its Changi Airport operations in multi-label Fashion Avenue at Terminal 3 and various brand boutiques across Terminals 1-4, as well as at Harbourfront Cruise Centre, Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal and T Galleria at Scottswalk.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
