"We're also going to open a first-of-its-kind beauty destination for travelers looking for their favorite cosmetics, fragrances or skincare products on-the-go. At the same time, we're excited about several other well-known fashion and accessory brands that we expect to announce later this fall."
"Airest Collezioni is thrilled to deliver to Pittsburgh and our partners at AIRMALL and Allegheny County a brand line-up and elevated shopping experience that solidifies Pittsburgh International Airport's reputation for innovative travel retail," said Chris Hoveland, head of business development Americas at Airest S.p.A.
"Airest Collezioni's brand partners, which together represent a carefully curated selection of global brands, offer Pittsburgh travelers something different - not only from other travel retail, but from their mall and downtown shopping experiences as well," added Liz Riding, USA retail project manager at Airest S.p.A.
In March 2013, the AIRMALL announced a seven-year agreement with Airest Collezioni to bring a selection of premium and high fashion brands to the PIT's Center Core, which is situated in the airside terminal and receives all departing and arriving passengers.
The new stores are part of a $10-million upgrade to the AIRMALL at PIT, a year-long construction project that will result in the most significant overhaul of the concessions program since the airport opened in 1992. Phase one of the construction project began in January.
The grand opening of the new Center Core is expected to occur this winter.
