ATU Duty Free was founded in 2000 as a joint venture between TAV Airports Holding and Unifree Duty Free/Gebr. Heinemann. It is a combination of airport owner/landlord, retailer and distributor/supplier that brings together the three core competencies of the industry and puts us ahead of our competitors.

And it is this unique combination that has moved ATU from its beginnings – operating an 80 sq.m store, to becoming, 16 years later, one of the world’s top travel retail companies. We now operate 122 shops covering 27000 sqm of retail space, spanning 21 airports in 8 countries across the globe.
