EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (June 27, 2025) – Dufry, part of global travel retail and food & beverage player  AG (SIX: AVOL), earned the award for Best New Retail Concept at the Excellence in Airport Concessions Awards hosted last evening by Airports Council International – North America (ACI-NA) during its 2025 Business of Airports Conference in Arlington, Texas. 

ACI-NA, the trade organization representing commercial service airports in the United States and Canada, recognized Dufry in the category for its close collaboration with Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) to unveil Moose Knuckles, enhancing the passenger experience.

Founded in Canada, Moose Knuckles is a leader in luxury outerwear, known for fusing meticulous craftsmanship with innovative design. With a global leadership team anchored in Montréal, the brand continues to push the boundaries of product style and technical expertise while staying rooted in Canadian heritage. The Moose Knuckles boutique at Toronto Pearson is located in the International Terminal and brings a fresh, premium brand emblematic of modern Canada that elevates Dufry’s duty-free shopping experience. 

“This award is the result of the hard work and dedication of countless team members in our organization. It always begins with an idea that becomes a reality thanks to collaboration and partnership over several months — sometimes several years. But our concepts don’t truly have the opportunity to shine until our operations teams take the reins and we begin to serve travelers. That’s when this boutique at Toronto Pearson came to life,” said Steve Johnson, President and CEO, North America, Avolta. “We are grateful to ACI-NA for this recognition, to Toronto Pearson for its continued confidence in us, and to our team members for all they do each day to make travelers happier.”

“We’re thrilled to see Moose Knuckles at Toronto Pearson recognized with this award,” said Deborah Flint, President and CEO of Toronto Pearson. “Thanks to our partners at Dufry and Moose Knuckles, passengers can enjoy elevated shopping experiences that offers choices of cool styles and brands.”
