Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL), India’s largest private airport operator and duty-free operator, and MakeMyTrip, India’s leading online travel company, today announced a partnership to make duty-free shopping more convenient and rewarding for international travellers.

What’s New
- Pre‑Booking Duty Free: International travellers can now browse and reserve duty‑free products online via MakeMyTrip before departure or arrival at Adani‑managed airports.
- Scale of Offering: Covers 10+ categories, 100+ brands, and 14,000+ SKUs, with online‑exclusive deals.
- Convenience Factor: Reduces time spent browsing and queuing at airport retail zones, shifting shopping decisions to the trip‑planning stage.

Where It’s Available
- Adani Airport Holdings Limited (AAHL) operates duty‑free outlets at Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur, and Thiruvananthapuram.
- Travellers can pre‑book via the MakeMyTrip app and mobile web, with pick‑up at these airports.

Strategic Vision
- Adani Airports: CEO Arun Bansal highlighted the focus on convenience, curated offers, and time savings.
- MakeMyTrip: Co‑founder Rajesh Magow tied this to their Connected Trips strategy, aiming for a seamless end‑to‑end travel experience.

Why It Matters
- Duty‑free pre‑booking is part of a global trend toward digital travel retail ecosystems, where shopping becomes integrated into the journey.
- For India, this strengthens non‑aeronautical revenue streams at airports while giving travellers more control and personalization.

This initiative positions Adani Airports and MakeMyTrip at the forefront of digitally enabled travel retail in India, aligning with international best practices seen at hubs like Singapore’s Changi and London Heathrow.
