ARI

Football has a way of bringing people together. And we're seeing it across the ARI network right now. In Portugal Duty Free, personalised World Cup sticker cards turned employee photos into a fun shared experience, with colleagues across locations creating, sharing and enjoying a bit of friendly football rivalry. In TRSS Abu Dhabi, retail and F&B teams joined forces to bring the excitement beyond the screen, creating football-themed experiences that added an extra layer of matchday buzz to their journey. At JFK T4, where New York is welcoming fans from around the world, dedicated merchandising is helping bring tournament excitement to passengers travelling through one of the world's busiest gateways. And in ARI offices in Dublin, there has been no shortage of Keepie Uppie challenges, with a table football tournament still to come. From airports to offices, it's been great to see how the beautiful game continues to spark conversations, create connections and bring more Joy On Your Way ⚽🏆 #TravelRetail #DutyFree #JoyOnYourWay #WorldCup

Travel retail must give travellers new reasons to stop, discover and engage.   As passenger growth becomes a less reliable driver of performance, experiences that deliver value beyond the transaction will increasingly set retailers apart.   Thank you Atoosa Ryanne A. and the team at Global Travel Retail Magazine for the opportunity to share the perspective of Paul Hunnisett, ARI's Global Head of Liquor, Tobacco, Confectionery and Souvenirs, on the future of experience-led retail.   At ARI, we believe differentiation comes from connecting travellers more meaningfully with the destinations they pass through. That's why we continue to invest in exclusive products, local storytelling and digital engagement that turn retail moments into moments of discovery.   From the Irish Whiskey Collection at Dublin Airport to Salon du Vin in Aer Rianta International North America (ARINA), Port Cellar in Portugal Duty Free and the Duty Free Whiskey Club, we're bringing travellers closer to the people, products and places that make each destination unique.   It's all part of our commitment to bringing Joy On Your Way to travellers around the world.   As travel retail continues to evolve, where do you see the greatest opportunity to create experiences that truly stand apart?

The energy of Lisbon's Santos Populares arrived at Lisbon Duty Free ✨   We were proud to welcome the Marchas Populares da Penha de França, one of Lisbon’s most iconic neighbourhood groups and a vibrant symbol of the city's Santos Populares celebrations.   For generations, the Marchas have brought communities together through music, choreography, colourful costumes and an incredible spirit of local pride. Seeing this tradition come to life in our Lisbon store was a wonderful reminder that travel is about more than destinations. It's about culture, connection and shared moments of joy. Sharing the richness of local heritage allows travellers to experience a genuine sense of place before they even leave the terminal.   A heartfelt thank you to all the performers and colleagues from Portugal Duty Free who brought the energy, passion and authenticity of the Marchas to our travellers.   #dutyfree #travelretail #joyonyourway

Three years on, what impact has Joy On Your Way had across ARI?   According to Global Head of Marketing Sarah Jane Lynch, its biggest contribution has been bringing people together behind a shared vision.   Over the past three years, Joy On Your Way has shaped everything from customer experiences and marketing campaigns to local activations and partner collaborations, creating stronger connections across ARI's global network while allowing each location to reflect its own culture and community.   In a new interview, Sarah Jane reflects on the evolution of Joy On Your Way, the importance of local ownership and why it continues to resonate with teams across ARI's global network.   One insight stands out: in an increasingly competitive market, it's the experiences people remember long after the transaction has ended.   Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/eEEBszeh   #TravelRetail #DutyFree #JoyOnYourWay #JoyDay2026

"Joy is..." To celebrate Joy Day, our colleagues across ARI have been completing that sentence on our global Joy Wall, sharing photographs of the things that matter most to them. From Dublin to Montreal, New York to Abu Dhabi, each submission has added a unique perspective, creating a live snapshot of life across our international community. Some capture significant milestones. Others celebrate simple everyday reminders of what brings meaning, comfort or inspiration. Side by side, these images paint a powerful picture of ARI today: diverse in experience, united in spirit, and connected by the moments we value most. A shared celebration of "Joy On Your Way" #travelretail #dutyfree #joyonyourway #joyday2026

What connects colleagues across countries, cultures and airports? After three years as ARI's Chief Joy Ambassador, Paula Pryor has seen first-hand how Joy On Your Way is brought to life across our global network. Joy On Your Way is more than a brand expression.

In a new interview, Paula reflects on the behaviours that strengthen teams and the connections that bring colleagues together across ARI's global network. One theme stands out: while colleagues work in very different environments, the things that matter most remain remarkably consistent.
