Lotte Duty Free announced on the 9th that it has increased the satisfaction of passengers shopping for duty-free goods by offering various benefits linked to non-landing tourism flights, which have been continuously increasing in number of users since its launch in December last year. Non-landing tourism flight is an air travel product that passes through foreign airspace without a landing site and returns to the departure airport. Since last December, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport issued an international tourism flight permit, which domestic airlines are actively engaged in. The number of non-landing tourism flights approved in February was increased from 11 in December and 17 in January, and the number of passengers on non-landing tourism flights in February is expected to increase due to the Lunar New Year holidays.
Lotte Duty Free has provided a variety of duty-free shopping benefits with domestic airlines such as Air Busan, T-Way, Jeju Air, and Air Seoul to meet the increasing demand for non-landing tourism flights. This means securing the largest number of partner airlines among the domestic duty-free industry. Customers using non-landing tourism flights affiliated with Lotte Duty Free can receive up to 600,000 won of LDF PAY at the Lotte Duty Free downtown store depending on the purchase amount. You can purchase popular fashion accessory brands such as Tumi, Camper, and Hula and beauty products at up to 60% discount.
Lotte Duty Free is providing differentiated benefits to customers through an exclusive partnership with Air Busan, which operates a total of six non-landing tour flights in February, including February 13, the Lunar New Year holiday. When Air Busan non-landing tour passengers use the Lotte Internet Duty Free Shop, they are providing benefits of up to $887, including $112 for ‘5 Special Dreams’ and $425 for ‘5 The Dreams’. Lotte Beauty Kit, consisting of L’Oreal skin care products or Atelier Kolon perfume, will be presented.
In fact, the amount of duty-free goods purchased by non-landing tourist flight passengers was 2.5 times higher than that of Korean passengers before the Corona 19 situation. In the current situation where the domestic duty-free industry has no choice but to rely on sales of Taigong in China, the non-landing tourism flight along with the sale of duty-free goods for domestic customs is an important channel to generate sales for Koreans. Lotte Duty Free explained that sales in January for non-landing tourist flights increased by about 70% compared to the previous month.
Lee Jung-min, head of the platform business division of Lotte Duty Free, said, “One of the main objectives of non-landing tourist flights in a situation where the aftermath of Corona 19 continues, is to shop for duty-free goods.” In the future, we will continue to provide a variety of benefits to repay customers’ support.”
