OREANDA-NEWS. November 05, 2013. Incheon International Airport Corporation scooped the Airport Operator of the year at the Frontier Awards held in Cannes.

Launched in 1985, the Frontier Awards recognize excellence in the duty free industry with trophies going to winners in 11 different categories following a review of submissions by a panel of international judges, reflecting passion, creativity and industry excellence in duty free and travel retail.

Winning the award helped the airport build its brand awareness following the Best Duty-Free in the World that Incheon won at 2013 Business Traveler Asia-Pacific Travel Awards held in Hong Kong, September. What is all the more meaningful is that the awards are spearheaded by international experts from world-class airports, duty free shops and brand groups as well as ordinary travellers.

Incheon provides a constant stream of offers and discounts to passengers, including seasonal promotions, rewards and prizes. Domestic brand shops newly opened also attract customers with various kinds of exciting promotions and aggressive marketing strategies.

President of IIAC said:”Winning the awards proves that Duty Free at Incheon airport is recognized not only by customers but experts in the industry as well. It will continue to evolve to be a multi-purpose complex with best ever service”
