Montblanc Opens New Boutique in Bengaluru at Kempegowda International Airport's Domestic Terminal 2

By Nishang Narayan

Published on August 31, 2024

Montblanc, a global leader in luxury business lifestyle products, has opened a new boutique at Kempegowda International Airport's Domestic Terminal 2 in Bengaluru. This boutique is the first in India to feature Montblanc's latest Neo³ interior concept, created to provide an immersive and elevated customer experience. The boutique offers dedicated areas for Montblanc's renowned watches, writing instruments, accessories, technological devices, and a wide range of leather goods.

The Neo³ design is an evolution of the earlier Neo concepts by French designer and interiors architect Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance. It introduces travertine and handmade concrete wall finishes, complementing the existing wooden floors and black lacquered elements, to further articulate Montblanc's passion for craftsmanship. The boutique also features a striking silhouette of the iconic Mont Blanc mountain on its façade, inspired by the historic Montblanc Haus in Hamburg, which opened in 2022.

Within the boutique, Montblanc's leather products are showcased in a shelving system that wraps around the entrance, highlighting the Maison's newly reformed leather collection, designed by Artistic Director Marco Tomasetta. This collection, blending function and style, has already achieved global success. The boutique also displays Montblanc's iconic collections and travel accessories, designed to cater to the needs of urban explorers with sleek, modern designs and refined functionality.

For watch enthusiasts, the boutique offers a selection of high-complication timepieces, including collections such as Montblanc 1858, Star Legacy, and Heritage. In the writing instrument area, customers can explore Montblanc's iconic Meisterstück and StarWalker collections, along with limited editions like Great Characters, Writers Edition, and Masters of Art series.

Neeraj Walia, Managing Director and CEO of Montblanc India, commented on the opening, stating, "Bangalore's T2 airport is the perfect location to reveal the Maison's latest Neo3 interior concept in India. This retail concept enhances customer experience by creating a welcoming environment with rich materials and clean displays. With India being an important market for Montblanc, we are pleased to extend our presence here with AMRPL."
Gaurav Singh, CEO of AMRPL, expressed excitement about the launch, adding, "We are thrilled to announce the opening of Montblanc's exclusive outlet at Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport Terminal 2. This partnership marks our commitment to expanding luxury retail across India. The new outlet promises elegance, craftsmanship, and inspiration, setting a new standard for travel retail."

The new Montblanc boutique is located at Domestic Departures — Kempegowda International Airport, Terminal 2, KIAL Rd, Devanahalli, Bengaluru.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines Announce New Codeshare and Loyalty Partnership

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on November 23, 2025

Etihad Airways and Vietnam Airlines have taken their partnership forward with the launch of a new codeshare agreement. This move builds on Etihad’s recently introduced Abu Dhabi–Hanoi service, creating smoother travel options between the UAE and Vietnam.

With this partnership, Etihad guests can now book onward journeys to major domestic destinations in Vietnam as well as popular cities across Asia, all on a single ticket. Travellers also benefit from one check-in and automatic baggage transfer, making Abu Dhabi an easy connection point to the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer, Etihad Airways, said: "This partnership with Vietnam Airlines delivers significant value to our guests by unlocking access to some of Asia's most dynamic and popular destinations. Our new Abu Dhabi-Hanoi service has been warmly received, and this codeshare agreement transforms it into a gateway to Vietnam's most exciting cities. Combined with our frequent flyer partnership, which enables loyalty members of both airlines to earn and redeem miles across our combined global networks, this collaboration underscores our commitment to providing our guests with greater flexibility, broader reach, and superior travel experiences."

From Vietnam Airlines’ perspective, this collaboration builds on the Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier. Nguyen Quang Trung, Director of Corporate Planning and Development, Vietnam Airlines, said: “Vietnam Airlines is pleased to advance our partnership with Etihad Airways through this new codeshare agreement, following the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2024. The collaboration offers seamless access to Etihad’s network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa, while allowing more travellers to experience Vietnam Airlines’ signature warmth and hospitality. Together with our expanded frequent-flyer partnership, this agreement enhances convenience, broadens destination choices, and strengthens tourism and economic ties between Vietnam and the UAE.”

The rollout of the codeshare will take place in phases. As it expands, passengers of Vietnam Airlines will gain access to six destinations beyond Abu Dhabi, Athens, Addis Ababa, Bahrain, Muscat, Cairo, and Istanbul, opening up a wider network across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa through Etihad’s strong connectivity.

Etihad and Vietnam Airlines already have a frequent flyer partnership in place. Launched in July 2025, it allows Etihad Guest and Lotus Miles members to earn and redeem miles across both airlines’ networks. This loyalty integration adds more value to the newly announced codeshare, giving travellers broader options and smoother travel experiences.
