King Shaka International Airport: more retail stores and wifi for flyers

King Shaka International Airport General Manager, Terence Delomoney, said they were in the process of reconfiguring the retail space, which will open in two months.

Currently one of Africa’s leading airports, the airport connected over 5 million travellers last year. There will be 3 new stores and 3 kiosks as well as free wifi services. There is also a range of franchise restaurants spread throughout the airport.

“We are trying to do our best to enhance the experiences for travellers. The airport will open a new lounge in the domestic terminal, and we will intensify our technological side of the business,” he said.

“Being a diversion airport for OR Tambo International and the need for space for long haul aircrafts has prompted the decision for new parking facilities. We also plan to extend our “taxiway” which is the space between the aircraft parking and the runway,” he said.

Garuda Indonesia Launches GIA Mall

State airliner Garuda Indonesia to launch a new platform called GIA Mall to sell products besides flight ticket, aiming to increase the company’s revenue, said Garuda trade director Pikri Ilham Kurniansyah.

“Because we can’t survive just by selling [flight] tickets,” Pikri said at Garuda Indonesia anniversary celebration in Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Saturday, Jan. 26.

It is reported that the state airliner, with its full service, is still experiencing financial loss in the past few years.

In the first quarter of 2018, the revenue of Garuda Indonesia reached U$1.9 billion or around Rp27.36 trillion, with the assumption of Rp14,400 per US dollar. It was a 5.9 percent increase if compared to the same period in the previous year. The company has managed to reduce the loss by 60 percent at only US$ 114 million from previously US$ 284 million.

Pikri explained that flight ticket which was previously sold on its website and mobile app will now be diverted to the GIA Mall platform. Garuda Indonesia also plans to sell more products including retail businesses related to the aviation industry, or non-aviation industry, on the GIA Mall.

According to Pikri, the GIA Mall can help Garuda to earn a monthly revenue of around Rp1 trillion from previously Rp350 billion when it sells flight ticket through the mobile app. He hopes that the new strategy will help Garuda Indonesia scoop up big gains.

DINAC anuncia licitación de locales del aeropuerto Silvio Pettirossi

Édgar Melgarejo, titular de la Dirección Nacional de Aeronáutica Civil (DINAC), ha informado que todas las tiendas ubicadas actualmente en el Aeropuerto Internacional Silvio Pettirossi tendrán que abandonar sus locales, debido a que se llevará a cabo una reorganización de los espacios comerciales de la terminal.  Más adelante indicó que se llevarán a cabo nuevas licitaciones para las concesiones de los locales para adecuar los cánones con la facturación real.

“Tenemos que buscar la posibilidad de tener un solo duty free, de tener un VIP realmente que sirva como tal, porque hoy tenemos una enorme demanda insatisfecha de pasajeros en tránsito, y entonces tenemos que mejorar muchísimo los servicios. En los locales gastronómicos no se encuentra casi nada, tengo quejas de pasajeros en tránsito. Muchas empresas quieren venir a operar y no tenemos las condiciones, pésimos servicios”, cuestionó Melgarejo.
