Frankfurt Airport Still a Prime Retail Location

Major brands returning to Terminal 1

The demand for retail concessions in the parts of Frankfurt Airport used by passengers is holding up despite the pandemic: leading international labels want to maintain their presence at this international aviation hub.

“As soon as the aviation sector recovers and passenger volumes increase, the whole world will come together here again,” says Nina Kristin Gür of the department responsible for retail and concessions at Fraport, the airport’s operator. “Especially passengers from Asia and the USA are drawn to major brands and love that Frankfurt Airport hosts such a wide variety of them.”

Quite a few shops have already reopened, many having utilized the break to remodel and boost their attractiveness. In Pier B non-Schengen, they include Versace, Burberry, Hermès and Hugo Boss, handbag specialists MCM and Longchamp, and Montblanc. Hermès and Gucci have also staged a comeback in Pier Z.
