The result is a retail environment that not only delights travelers but also strengthens the visibility and impact of partner brands. Enrique Urioste, President and CEO, LATAM & Caribbean, Avolta, commented: "We are thankful to Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte and proudly announce the extension of our partnership, a collaboration that has been mutually successful for the past 25+ years and is now set to continue. As we journey towards our Destination 2027 strategy, we continue to provide travelers with premium experiences and exceptional services, based on a deep understanding of our stakeholders’ needs and market trends."  Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of OMA, noted: “Avolta has been a key partner for the group, delivering products that enhance the travel experience for our passengers at our airports.
