Dubai Duty Free has once again demonstrated its global retail strength after recording extraordinary anniversary sales exceeding Dhs69 million within just 24 hours. The achievement further strengthens the company’s position as one of the world’s leading airport retail operators and highlights the growing demand for premium travel retail experiences in the United Arab Emirates.
Founded more than four decades ago, Dubai Duty Free has evolved into a globally recognized airport retail brand operating across Dubai. The organization continues to play a major role in supporting tourism, travel retail, and international passenger experiences through world-class shopping facilities at both Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport.
The company recently celebrated its 42nd anniversary with a remarkable commercial performance, generating total sales of Dhs69.097 million (US$19 million) during a special 24-hour promotional campaign. A 25% discount offer across a wide range of products attracted thousands of travellers and shoppers, making the anniversary event one of the most successful retail days in the company’s history.
Sales during the anniversary campaign increased by more than 15% compared to the previous year, reflecting continued growth in passenger traffic and customer engagement. The achievement became the second-highest single-day sales figure ever recorded by the company, narrowly missing the all-time record by only Dhs351,000.
Retail activity remained particularly strong at Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport due to heavy passenger movement and extensive shopping options. Concourse D at Terminal 1 also delivered impressive sales growth, while Al Maktoum International Airport recorded nearly 50% growth compared to the previous anniversary period.
Among the top-selling categories, perfumes once again dominated sales performance, generating over Dhs17 million in revenue. Luxury fragrances, premium cosmetics, watches, liquor products, and high-end accessories continued attracting strong customer demand throughout the event.
The organization’s Millennium Millionaire and Finest Surprise promotions also recorded significant success, supported by growing online customer participation. Thousands of digital transactions highlighted the increasing importance of e-commerce integration and online engagement within airport retail operations.
