Dubai Duty Free has announced that sales in April reached AED713m ($195.4m), marking a new record for the month of April. It represents an 18 per cent increase over April 2024 and positions April 2025 as the fourth best month on record for the airport retailer since operations began. Ramesh Cidambi, Managing Director of Dubai Duty Free said: 'November and December 2024 were record months, joined by January 2025, so it is great to see that April sales are in the top four monthly sales rankings now. Dubai Duty Free sales 'April was a busy month passenger-wise with Eid holidays, Easter and the Arabian Travel Market pushing up passenger numbers. However, as far as we know, sales outstripped passenger numbers, which is a very positive indicator for us'. In April, the top five product categories sold were perfumes, liquor, tobacco, gold and confectionery: Perfume sales reached AED128.72m ($35.26m) contributing 18 per cent of total revenue and showing an increase of 16 per cent over the same month last year Liquor followed closely with sales of AED92.5m ($25.34m) an increase of 13 per cent Tobacco saw a 25 per cent increase year-on-year with sales of AED73.95m ($20.26m) Gold sales amounted to AED71.57m ($19.61m), contributing 10 per cent of total revenue and an increase of 35 per cent Confectionery continued to demonstrate strong growth, achieving AED69.54m ($19.05m), marking an 84 per cent increase from the same month last year and accounting for 10 per cent of total revenue The Fashion boutiques in Terminal 3's Concourse A and B combined outperformed their sales from last April, recording a 12 per cent increase. This is notable, considering that these boutiques have been lagging in sales since the first quarter of 2024. The Preloved luxury segment, which is available in the airport retailer's Reklaim outlets, delivered impressive results of AED9m ($2.4m) since it was introduced in December 2024 of which AED3.52m ($970,000) was generated in April alone. Meanwhile, the viral Dubai chocolate continued its remarkable success story with sales hitting AED28.6m ($7.84m) in April, which is an average of AED1m ($274,000) sales per day.

Cidambi said: 'This robust performance can be seen across all categories both in-store and online, with online sales increasing by 3 per cent in April. We are also seeing an increase in the average passenger spend and that is also very encouraging'.

Jackie Forster speaks out about son Kobe Paras' breakup with Kyline Alcantara
Jackie Forster recently addressed the breakup between her son, Kobe Paras, and actress Kyline Alcantara in a nearly 15-minute video posted on social media. In the video, she confirmed the end of their relationship and defended her son against cheating accusations. Initially, the family had intended to remain silent about the breakup, but Jackie said they could no longer tolerate the spreading of false claims. She clarified that Kobe and Kyline's relationship began to unravel in January, following their trip to the United States. While Kobe attempted to work through their issues, Jackie stated that he ultimately decided to leave Kyline because some things had become 'unforgivable.' Despite the breakup, Jackie mentioned that the family continued to offer support to Kyline, spending hours comforting her. 'We are Kobe's family, but out of respect, we still tried to be there for her,' she said. Jackie also shared that Kyline had continued to reach out, even up until the day before Easter, asking Kobe to apologize so they could work things out. However, Jackie accused Kyline's camp of spreading false narratives about Kobe, portraying him as unfaithful. 'I'm confused as to why Kyline and her side are allowing these false accusations to circulate,' she stated. Addressing another point, Jackie explained that Kobe was using Kyline's car because she had lent it to him while his own vehicle was being repaired. Jackie also addressed the criticism Kobe faced for quickly moving on, stating that it was better than staying in a relationship where one wasn't being true to themselves. In closing, Jackie admitted that she had been warned about Kyline and expressed regret for not heeding those warnings. 'I defended you, Kyline,' she said. 'I regret not listening to those warnings.' Earlier this month, Kyline and Kobe unfollowed each other on Instagram, marking the end of their relationship that was confirmed in November 2024.
