A new era at Haifa International Airport – Layam won the Airports Authority tender to operate the duty-free store at the airport.
The store, designed for international flights, will cover an area of approximately 200 square meters and will offer travelers perfumes, alcoholic beverages, electrical products, tobacco and more.
Layam Ltd. won the Airports Authority's tender to operate the duty-free store at Haifa Airport. This is against the backdrop of the port's return to international activity. Layam Ltd. is among the veteran duty-free operators and operates duty-free stores at Ben Gurion Airport, and at the Haifa and Ashdod seaports. Construction work on the store is expected to begin in the coming days and the opening is expected within a few weeks.
The store, which will cover an area of approximately 200 square meters, will offer passengers on international flights a wide range of duty-free products, including perfumes, alcoholic beverages, electrical products, tobacco, and more. The contract is for a period of up to 4 years, with an option to extend the contract period for up to an additional 24 months. Similar to the duty-free store at Ben Gurion Airport, it will be possible to leave the products at the airport and pick them up upon returning to Israel.
Haifa Airport is the oldest international airport in Israel and the third largest. The airport was established by the British in 1934 and is located at the eastern entrance to the city of Haifa. Recently, the Airports Authority significantly upgraded the airport and it returned to full operation, including flights to Eilat and international flights. The airport serves as the parent base of Air Haifa, which operates flights to Larnaca in Cyprus, Athens in Greece, and Ramon Airport, and plans to open additional destinations in the future, as well as to acquire a fourth aircraft, expected to arrive in September and a fifth towards the end of the year. In addition, helicopter flights depart from the airport to drilling rigs located outside the territorial waters of the State of Israel, as well as small private commercial flights to international destinations.
According to the plan, and in light of the increase in passenger numbers, a new catering point is also expected to open at Haifa Airport in accordance with a tender to be published by the Airports Authority.
Finally someone is moving an important project north of the airport that will serve the residents of the north without reaching Tel Aviv.
It is not possible to rehabilitate the north and Haifa and return Haifa to its premier status as an economic-industrial-tourism engine of the north without a real airport that can allow wide-body aircraft to land with fuel to destinations in Europe and Asia, and not just as far as Athens.
With all the appreciation for Air Haifa, it is not really a substitute for the lack of an international airport with foreign companies that will bring hundreds of thousands of tourists, business people, and the transportation of goods by air, which must be carried out at the airport in Haifa and not at Ben Gurion Airport, an hour and a half to three hours away from the Galilee and Upper Galilee. It is a transportation catastrophe while all the neighboring countries are building huge airports that are among the most advanced in the world. We are walking backwards with governments that do not make decisions.
Good luck, your success is our success🙏
Nice. But let's see the prices.
