Adani Airport Holdings Limited and MakeMyTrip have launched an online duty-free pre-booking service for international travellers, allowing passengers to browse and reserve products before arriving at the airport.
The service enables travellers to pre-book duty-free items across more than 10 categories, covering over 100 brands and 14,000 products, through the MakeMyTrip platform. It is available for both departing and arriving international passengers at airports managed by Adani Airports.
Pre-booking aims to cut airport time
The initiative allows travellers to plan purchases in advance and access online-exclusive offers, shifting shopping decisions to the trip planning stage. This is expected to reduce time spent browsing and queuing at airport retail outlets.
Passengers can collect their pre-booked items at designated duty-free stores across Adani-managed airports, including Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangaluru, Jaipur and Thiruvananthapuram.
