Bradley International Airport said it has has opened a duty free shop in partnership with a specialty retailer.
Kevin A. Dillon, executive director of the Connecticut Airport Authority, announced the addition Friday.
The new store is managed by International Shoppes, which has similar operations at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York and Boston Logan International Airport, among others.
The shop gives both domestic and international passengers a chance to save on premium items, Dillon said.
The store carries duty-free liquor and tobacco products as well as fragrances and other products, said Matthew Greenbaum, vice president of the International Shoppes.
Passengers on flights to Dublin, Toronto and Montreal, and on the seasonal flight to Cancun, Mexico are able to purchase items while exempt from customs duties and other consumption taxes. Passengers traveling to destinations within the U.S. can purchase certain items at the store, but they won’t be exempt from the local sales tax.
Located near Gate 8, the approximately 500-square-foot shop will be open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
