Auckland International Airport’s duty-free stores are set for a big makeover under a new partnership with French global travel retailer Lagardère.

Lagardère successfully won an eight-year contract to operate the airport’s four duty-free stores from July, according to a new announcement.

The airport says passengers can expect to see the next evolution of duty-free shopping.

First Retail Group managing director Chris Wilkinson says this is a promising development.

"The key thing about duty-free is - it gives you a lot of selection, particularly in cosmetics and perfumery. You won't find that level of selection in general retail."
