“The joint venture is an affirmation of our good working relationship with its management and their trust in our capabilities, which started in 2008 when they appointed CAI to consult on the commercial development of one of its terminal.”
The JV will focus on enhancing the commercial landscape at the Chinese airport by introducing experiential concepts, along with new product categories and brands, to meet the changing need of passengers and visitors to the airport.
