The Phoenix store offers a selection of DVDs in addition to its usual offering and provides seating for customers.

Borders Group airport programme senior manager Anthony Grant told DFNI that the roll-out marked "the continuation of an intensive focus" on airport retail. He said that more outlets would be announced in the coming months.
