canberra - you probably know more about the commercial aspects of airport duty free than me, but as far as I can tell, now that the Tenerife route has been dropped, the only regular flight from DTV to anywhere outside the EU is a summer seasonal weekly flight to Jersey with less than 900 outbound passengers in the whole of 2012. Thus spirits and tobacco are unlikely to have much in the way of sales. Perfume is the only thing remaining significantly worthwhile. All other destinations are in the EU, making it much harder to generate any significant savings over the UK High Street.

Is there really still a commercial need for a duty free shop at DTV ?
