Avolta Expands Italian Airport Network with New Openings at Venice Marco Polo Airport
Global travel retail and food & beverage operator Avolta has expanded its presence in Italy with the opening of new retail and hospitality concepts at Venice Marco Polo Airport, strengthening its footprint in one of the country's busiest tourism gateways.
Avolta has entered Venice Marco Polo Airport for the first time with the launch of a Costa Coffee outlet and the planned opening of a Hudson convenience store, continuing the company's expansion across Italy's airport network.
The openings follow recent investments at Verona Airport and reinforce Avolta's strategy of combining travel retail with food and beverage services in major European transport hubs.
Growing presence in Italian aviation
Venice Marco Polo is among Italy's busiest international airports, serving millions of leisure and business travellers every year.
By adding internationally recognised retail and food brands, Avolta aims to enhance passenger experience while strengthening commercial revenues for airport operators.
Travel retail continues to recover
The expansion reflects the continued recovery of airport retail across Europe, supported by rising passenger traffic and increased demand for premium food, beverage and convenience services.
For companies operating across Europe and Latin America, the trend illustrates how airports are becoming increasingly important commercial destinations rather than simply transport hubs, creating new opportunities for retailers and international consumer brands.
