Duty-Free Takes to the Skies: The Mile High Shopping Club
Posted in: Uncategorized
In this age of capitalism, it seems if you build something big enough somebody will put a store in it.
Korean Air has recently announced they’ll be installing duty free shops in their forthcoming Airbus A380 jumbo jets. The shops were apparently designed at least in part by cosmetics company L’Oréal’s design department, and while details are light, it appears from the photo that they’ll incorporate a pivoting countertop/display unit that presumably stows away during take-off and landing. And as you can see in the video below, to prevent breakage during turbulence, all of booze bottles will be kitted out with magnets on the bottom, holding them fast to metal shelves.
