The duty-free liquor store at Shannon Airport in Ireland dates back to 1972. Aer Rianta International (ARI), a global travel retailer, recently celebrated St. Patrick’s Day by welcoming key members of Ireland’s political elite at various ARI stores worldwide. ARI has a presence in multiple markets such as Canada, Cyprus, India, Oman, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Ireland.
During the annual week of celebrations for the Irish diaspora leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, politicians visited ARI stores abroad. Green attire and shamrocks were prominent in cities like London and New York during the St. Patrick’s Day parades.
