Denmark joins the Duty Free on Arrival trend.

Another airport location has launched an online site for pre-order duty-free. How long will it be before all airports will have a duty-free on arrival shop like the one shown here in the arrivals hall at Hong Kong airport?

Copenhagen Airport has introduced the option of picking up tax- and duty-free products on arrival. Intra-EU passengers no longer have to carry their pre-ordered tax- and duty-free products on their flight. The new option will give passengers a more pleasant journey and reduce environmental impact. More than 200,000 bottles of fragrances and skin care products and around 100,000 bottles of wine and champagne can skip the flight in future thereby saving many tonnes of carbon emissions. Copenhagen Airports offers passengers travelling within the EU the option of picking up pre-ordered products at duty free prices on arrival instead of on departure. There are environmental benefits of the new scheme and it saves passengers unnecessary trouble. “Tax- and duty-free products have a long journey behind them when they land on passengers’ shelves, a journey we can now shorten by keeping the goods on the ground. The lighter the aircraft, the lower the fuel consumption, so the airline saves fuel and reduces its carbon emissions,” said Henrik Busch, Commercial Director, Copenhagen Airports A/S.
