Lagardère Travel Retail and Belfast International Airport are proud to be working together to transform the retail landscape at Belfast International Airport.
The transformation of this retail space at Belfast International Airport will include an expanded portfolio of global and local brands such as Jo Malone and Rituals with Charlotte Tilbury and Creed set to launch in the coming weeks. It also features the debut of White Star Coffee Co., a bold new locally inspired dining concept that elevates the food and beverage experience at the airport.
A standout addition is the new Discover Belfast store, now embedded within the Aelia Duty Free environment. This dedicated space celebrates the best of Northern Ireland, allowing travellers to explore regional icons such as the Titanic, famously built at Belfast’s Harland and Wolff shipyard. Discover Belfast champions local excellence, from souvenirs and premium confectionery to exclusive products from homegrown brands.
Aelia Duty Free and Belfast International Airport play a pivotal role in introducing Northern Irish brands to a global audience. Through strategic partnerships with local companies such as McConnell’s Irish Whisky, Born & Bred and Boatyard Distillery, the new store enables local brands to enhance their visibility and connect with a truly international customer base.
Dan Owens, CEO of Belfast International Airport, said:This next phase of our redevelopment continues to elevate the passenger experience at Belfast International Airport. The new retail and dining offer not only brings iconic names to our terminal but also proudly showcases the best of Northern Ireland to the world.
Peter Newbould, CEO of Lagardère Travel Retail UK & Ireland, said:Our vision is to reimagine the airport journey by blending global brands with authentic local experiences. With this transition, we're not just enhancing retail—we’re creating moments of discovery and inspiration for every traveller passing through Belfast.
This dynamic transformation reflects the long-standing partnership between Lagardère Travel Retail and Belfast International Airport, and reaffirms a shared commitment to innovation, local identity and best-in-class travel retailing.
