The Swiss-based retailer has recently merged with global catering leader Autogrill.

Swiss-based retailer Dufry – soon to be renamed Avolta – has formed a partnership with Hubei Airport Group to serve as a master concessionaire in Wuhan Tianhe Airport.

Through this joint venture, Dufry will heighten the assets from its Dufry-Autogrill merger to expand its travel, F&B, convenience and hybrid offerings, and bolster its presence and confidence in the Chinese market.
