Capi-Lux and Le Bridge Forge Strategic Alliance for Chisinau International Airport Tender
Internationally renowned airport retailer Capi-Lux and Moldovan distribution and travel retail company Le Bridge Corporation Limited have united their strengths to submit a joint proposal for the operation of commercial spaces within Chisinau International Airport. This collaborative venture aims to bring together the proven retail prowess and sustainability focus of Capi-Lux with the local expertise and infrastructure of Le Bridge.
The collaborative offer, which integrates Capi-Lux's established retail concept and operational robustness with Le Bridge's in-depth understanding of the local market, is poised to set new standards in Travel Retail and Food & Beverage services within the sterile area of Chisinau International Airport.
Following the recent closure of the submission period for tenders, the airport authorities unexpectedly announced the cancellation of the tender. Undeterred by this development, Guus Jonge Poerink, General Manager of Capi-Lux, stated, "We take note of the cancellation of the tender, but we will follow the developments closely and remain interested in participating together with our local partner, Le Bridge."
