    SKYlink takes toys to a new level By Jas Ryat on October, 8 2019 | Gifts & Children's Products 1 Copyright DutyFree Magazine. All rights reserved. Cheers to success:The SKYlink team showcases its brand portfolio at TFWA World Exhibition, Cannes The SKYlink GmbH team, retailer for luxury goods and premium products, hosted a breakfast for Americas, Asia, Gulf-Africa Duty Free during TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes to showcase the strengths it brings to duty free. The German based retailer works with all of the major airport operators, airlines, ship and ferry retailers. The global channel distributor says it has very high expectations for FAO Schwarz – whose New York store first became famous in the 1988 American fantasy comedy film BIG, starring Tom Hanks. Listings have already been secured with DFS in 10 of its Galleria stores and negotiations are in process for a number of key airport and cruise ship locations. 2 Copyright DutyFree Magazine. All rights reserved. 3 Copyright DutyFree Magazine. All rights reserved. With a flagship store opening in Beijing, China, earlier this year and London and Dublin openings scheduled for October 22 and 30 respectively, the potential for the FAO Schwarz experiential toy brand in global travel retail is clear Barry Fitzpatrick, managing director, SKYlink said: “We were delighted when FAO Schwarz approached us to represent them in global travel retail. This is a brand whose belief in experiential marketing is perfect for the channel; and while other toy suppliers have fallen by the wayside in the face of ecommerce competition, FAO Schwarz is going from strength to strength.” Earlier this year, FAO Schwarz partnered with Kidsland, China’s largest toy distributor and retailer with almost 200 stores; while a 27,000 square feet flagship store opened in China World Mall, Beijing.
