Alfarag Duty Free is a duty-free operator that manages duty-free selling operations for international travelers at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as Ethiopia’s first private duty-free retailer.[1]
Alfarag Duty Free began its duty-free operations in 2003 under Alfarag Trading PLC, a family-owned company established in 1932, involved in duty-free retail, other retail ventures, and the import and distribution of various goods. The company employs over 500 staff, the majority of whom work in its travel retail operations.[2][3]
History
[edit]Alfarag Duty Free was established as Ethiopia's first private duty-free retailer in 2003. It operates under Alfarag Trading PLC, a family-owned business founded in 1932 in Dire Dawa, one of Ethiopia's regional capitals. The company relocated to Addis Ababa in 1965, expanding its operations to include import and distribution, as well as duty-free and other retail ventures.[4]
Alfarag Trading PLC began its journey as a general trading business, gradually diversifying into various sectors. The establishment of Alfarag Duty Free in 2003 represented an important development for Alfarag Trading PLC, introducing private duty-free retail to Ethiopia. Since then, the company has been involved in managing duty-free operations at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport[5][3].[6][2]
Operations
[edit]Alfarag Duty Free operates two stores in the international terminal of Addis Ababa Bole International Airport[7], which serves as the hub for Ethiopian Airlines, Africa's largest airline in terms of passengers carried, destinations served, fleet size, and revenue.[8][9]
Alfarag Duty Free has recently renovated its two stores at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport. These renovations are part of broader renovations at the airport, which has been upgraded to accommodate over 25 million passengers annually.[1][10][11]
