Convenience outlet opens at airport

A convenience outlet called Eight Till Late has just been opened at the Welcomers Hall, or the Arrivals area, at Malta International Airport, offering retail services targeted for last-minute and late-night purchases.

The open-plan establishment, spread over 280 square metres, comprises a pharmacy, a perfumery and skincare outlet, a florist, a stationery, a toyshop, a grocery, a bottle shop, a confectionery and a newsagent and bookshop. This latest MIA concession is run by Quality Catering and Retail Services Ltd and will be open from 7.30 a.m. till midnight daily including Sundays.

This new development has caused the Welcomers Hall cafeteria to be relocated just opposite with a new access to the exterior allowing some seating and a smoking area outside.

The Connections cafeteria has been refurbished, offering a wider range of food and beverage products.

MIA said that the range of eateries will be further enhanced with the various establishments that will be operating at the Food Court on the minus one level.

Burger King will be the first to open, prior to the Christmas festivities.

These additional facilities, MIA added, follow the recently-opened retail address for fine luxury items such as jewellery, diamonds, watches and optical wear. Classicoptical, spread over 80 square metres, offers over 30 of the most renowned brands.

This will shortly be followed by the opening of a travel agency, fashion wear and travel goods outlet also in the foyer area.
