Whether you’re going on holiday or heading home after a trade fair, the journey begins as soon as your luggage is checked in. For holidaymakers and businesspeople alike, browsing around the duty free shops – where you’re certain to find leading international brands at low prices – is part of the experience at Hanover Airport.

Now the airport is offering a new attraction to shopaholics: Gebr. Heinemann has transformed its Hanover stores into Heinemann Duty Free shops. “Travellers can now take advantage of our Heinemann Duty Free shops here in Hanover as well, which is raising our profile further”, said Raoul Spanger, Member of the Board of Gebr. Heinemann. “As a city of industry and a centre for trade fairs that provides a wide range of flights to popular holiday destinations, Hanover is an important location.” Heinemann will be operating seven duty free shops at Hanover Airport, providing jobs for 45 staff members.

“Hannover Airport and Gebr. Heinemann have been working together successfully since 1998, and we are delighted to be extending our partnership by another five years”, said Dr. Raoul Hille, the airport’s Managing Director. “As the main holiday airport for the north of Germany, it is very important to us to make sure passengers enjoy the best possible start to their holidays. The new Heinemann shops here at Hannover Airport will play a major part in achieving that aim. With immediate effect, they will be providing exclusive duty free shopping across more than a thousand square metres of retail space. Following on from the opening of the Airport Plaza in 2007, we are pleased to be able to present customers with a unique shopping experience both before and after the security checks.”

In addition to the big international brands, passengers visiting the Heinemann Duty Free shops can discover the best that northern Germany has to offer – including Niederegger marzipan and Feodora chocolate as well as products from Hanover such as Bahlsen cakes and biscuits, Rausch chocolate and local souvenirs.
