Inflight concessionaire Duty Free Air and Ship Supply (DFASS) will be official partner for the 2016 Airline Retail Conference (ARC) Asia/Pacific showpiece, event organiser Memphis Media has confirmed.
Memphis Media has made efforts to restructure all ARC events since its acquisition mid-March and last month announced it will reduce entry tickets for exhibitors and delegates to all ARC events.
“We are delighted to be participating in the ARC Asia event again,” said DFASS Group deputy chairman John Garner.
“The last Asia exhibition held in Hong Kong was very well attended and we see this as a great opportunity to build on our business in the region. Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, and Scoot have all renewed their agreements with us, and we are pleased to be starting our new business on board Tianjin Airlines and Vietnam Airlines later this month. We look forward to meeting existing and new clients at the show in Singapore.”
Memphis Media managing director Karim Halwagi added: “I couldn’t be happier to be working once again with DFASS. As a true leader in the market, I am delighted DFASS Group is supporting the upcoming ARC Asia-Pacific event.”
DFASS manages 27 inflight retail concession airline partners globally covering duty-free shopping and buy-on-board programmes, with over 150 million international and domestic passengers per year.
