Executive Retail Shops, Duty Free Holdings’ premium retail concept for private jet travelers, hosted an elegant ‘World of Wonder’ launch event for the travel retail industry at Casadonna in Miami on February 18.
The exclusive event brought together luxury brands, immersive activations, and high-profile guests and showcased the exclusive access and premium benefits Executive Retail Shops provide to private aviation travelers through a curated selection of the world’s most luxurious brands.
The event was hosted by Duty Free Holding’s CEO Philippe Dray and President James Mullaney, who invited guests to explore interactive experiences and personalization stations from such brands as Patek Maison, Luniche, and Coty, along with curated food and cocktail experiences featuring premium spirits from Teramana, Jägermeister, Gold Bar, Liquor 43, Bulleit Bourbon, Johnnie Walker, Monkey Shoulder, Hendrick’s, Milagro Tequila, and more.
Bravo TV’s Summer House stars Jesse Solomon and Kyle Cooke were on hand, with Kyle taking over the DJ booth to set the vibe for the night.
In an interview TMI held with Duty Free Holding in December, Mullaney said that the company is targeting high-worth travelers at Private Jet Terminals (FBOs), tapping into a premium market that remains largely underserved.
As of the end of last year, the company had four distribution points in Opa Locka, seven in Fort Lauderdale, and was in the process of building out two additional locations with Sheltair, with 10 more locations scheduled to open in 2025.
Duty Free Holding’s Executive Retail Shops have multiple options available to fit the space available in the private terminals and offers Click and Collect service to deliver product.
