Jorge Chávez International Airport in Lima has welcomed the opening of a new ‘last-minute’ duty free store by Lagardère Travel Retail. Spanning 182sqm, this new unit further strengthens the company’s commercial footprint at the airport and reflects the continued growth and development of Lagardère Travel Retail’s operations in the country.
This opening builds on the milestone achieved in June 2025, when Lagardère Travel Retail unveiled 4,000sqm of duty free and duty paid retail alongside a 3,300sqm dining area within Lima’s new terminal, anchoring the company’s presence in Latin America. The new last-minute store, Duty Free Express, reinforces the commercial offer at Jorge Chávez, extending the opportunity to purchase all the way to the final moments before boarding.
“The opening of Duty Free Express marks another step forward in strengthening the commercial offering of the new Jorge Chávez Airport,” said Marinela Beke, Retail Business Manager, Lima Airport Partners. “We want every passenger to find a shopping experience at the airport that is agile, modern, and aligned with the international standards that today define the world’s leading airport terminals.”
Designed specifically with time-pressed travellers in mind, the new store addresses a clear and well-established need: a streamlined, accessible and efficient duty free offer, ideally positioned at the gate, with a diverse assortment spanning perfumes & cosmetics, liquor, food, fashion and other categories. The store is tailored to suit a wide range of traveller profiles and purchasing needs – a spontaneous gift, a travel essential or a treat before take-off.
By combining a flagship duty free destination with a dedicated last minute offer, Lagardère Travel Retail Peru aims to ensure that every passenger can enjoy a relevant and convenient shopping experience when travelling from Lima.
“This new opening is important in that it will help us to maximise the commercial opportunity at Lima Jorge Chávez Airport, while offering travellers even greater choice and convenience,” said Miguel Ruiz, CEO, Lagardère Travel Retail Peru. “As ever we are grateful to Lima Airport Partners for their support in helping identify new ways to serve our customers even more efficiently.”
