AUSTRALIA. Sydney Airport Corporation Limited (SACL) today announced that The Nuance Group has been awarded the rights to operate the airport’s duty free business, the largest in Australia. As previously reported, the retailer was named the preferred bidder on 20 July after one of the most intensely-fought duty free tenders of recent years.

Nuance headed tough competition, particularly from James Richardson in an alliance with Aelia, and DFS Group.

The Nuance Group has operated the concession at Sydney Airport as Downtown Duty Free since 1991. The current concession will end on 31 October, 2006 and the new concession commences 1 November, 2006. Subject to the exercising of options, the concession will last for eight years. "
