About us
We harness our pioneering culture to make travel more enjoyable with bespoke offers and experiences.
Lagardère Travel Retail aspires to weave moments of enjoyment into every passenger’s journey. We transform mundane waiting times into opportunities for discovery, craft spaces that inspire wonder, and curate experiences that resonate with individual preferences.
To do so, we invest our world-class global expertise and local knowledge to bring tailor-made offers and experiences to life that benefit landlords and travelers alike. Our unique company culture enables our people to thrive in their work and exceed partners’ and travelers’ needs and expectations. Driven by passion, expertise, and teamwork, people are at the heart of our performance and the key of our success.
As a French-based, international company inspired by our rich 170-year history, we support mobility in all forms, and today, our business model has become a benchmark in the industry thanks to our forward-thinking Three Business Lines model. Operating over 5,120 stores across Travel Essentials, Duty Free & Fashion and Foodservice in airports, railway stations and other concessions in 42 countries worldwide, we generated €6.6bn sales in 2023.
In the UK & Ireland
Lagardère Travel Retail started its operations in the UK in 2004 with its first Duty Free contract at Belfast International Airport. It then rapidly developed across the UK and Ireland territory with the opening of several Duty-Free, fashion and specialty shops in mid-to-large airports and in ships operated by Irish Ferries.
Currently operating 16 shops across 5 airports and 5 ferries, Lagardère Travel Retail generates circa £72m turnover.
