Lagardère Services and Servair

VisuelLagardereServair and Lagardère Services, the world’s leading travel retailer, are working together and strengthening their ties.

The two companies already have a strong relationship thanks to the partnership between SERVAIR and AELIA (Lagardère Services Group), and now join forces to present a full Duty-Free offer to the aircraft and airport sector. Together, they have created a joint venture held at 50% by each group.

Drawing on the support of the Servair and Lagardère Services synergies, the joint venture obtained the franchise rights to the Duty-Free store on Reunion Island, located within the international Rolland Garros airport.

The airport accommodates 2 million passengers each year and should see its air traffic rise over the coming months and years following the opening of new airways to Asia.

This new partnership will be continued in the airports of the Africa, Indian Ocean and Caribbean zones.
