CEO Middle East & Africa – AVOLTA

Welcome to the official website of the Middle East and Africa Duty Free Association (MEADFA).
This platform offers a look into the fast-paced and evolving duty free and travel retail industry in our region.

Middle East and Africa continue to be one of the most vibrant and high-growth areas within global duty free. With ongoing investments in airport infrastructure and retail operations, the region is set for even greater expansion in the coming years.

Established in 2001 as the Middle East Duty Free Association (MEDFA), our organization grew to include Africa in 2013 and became MEADFA. Today, we proudly represent a diverse and growing community of members across both regions.

MEADFA remains committed to raising industry standards, strengthening relationships with government stakeholders, and promoting ethical business practices. Our Code of Conduct reflects the values we stand for, and MEADFA membership remains a trusted mark of quality and professionalism.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website and learning more about MEADFA.
