Dubai Duty Free is one of the world’s most recognised travel retail operators, delivering a premium shopping experience at Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport. Known for its scale, efficiency, and strong sales performance, the brand offers a wide range of luxury goods, electronics, and spirits to millions of international travellers each year. For Australian United Spirits, Dubai Duty Free provides access to a high-volume, globally diverse customer base in one of the busiest travel hubs in the world.

The Founder

Dubai Duty Free was established in 1983 under the directive of the Government of Dubai, with guidance from aviation retail consultants and leadership from Colm McLoughlin, who played a key role in building the operation from its inception. It was created as part of Dubai’s broader vision to become a leading global aviation and tourism hub.

The Business

Originating in the United Arab Emirates, Dubai Duty Free operates primarily within Dubai International Airport, one of the busiest airports globally. The business has grown into a major player in travel retail, consistently achieving record sales and serving millions of passengers annually. Its strategic location and global reach make it an ideal partner for suppliers like Australian United Spirits.
