The company is now focusing on re-opening stores as travel resumes and travel restrictions are lifted, as well as on its re-organisation and restructuring plans, adding that performance has been "responding and progressing" since the start of travel restrictions being lifted in Jun-2020. Specifically, sales are "progressing" in line with domestic travel growth in Asia, the US, Latin America and expanding intra-European air traffic. [more - original PR]
