The first ever duty free store was opened by Aer Rianta in 1947 at Shannon Airport, Ireland. And for over 75 years, ARI has continued to blaze a trail across the globe.
ARI was the first operator to establish and manage a Duty Free store at Dubai International Airport in 1983. We were also the first to bring Duty Free shopping to Russia in 1988.
In December of 2019 ARI wins the contract to operate the retail concession at both Tivat Airport and Podgorica Airport in Montenegro.
Most recently our travels have taken us to Portugal with the launch of Portugal Duty Free in June 2022. And our legacy continues to grow.
