The duty free shop inside terminal four and John F Kennedy International Airport in New York, which will now be run by ARI and its partners. The deal is part of International Airport Terminals’ $1.5 billion plan to overhaul the terminal, which is JFK’s busiest. It is the first such contract that ARI has won in the US, according to the Irish company’s chief executive, Ray Hernan. ARI and International Shoppes have a brief to reshape the retail businesses to reflect New York City and its vibrancy and diversity, Hernan explained. While the JFK business is significant in its own right, Hernan says ARI hopes the deal will give the Irish business a platform from which it can win further contracts in the US.
