Context and risks
Avolta's travel retail business depends on international travel demand and the stability of air routes. The blockade of Ormuz and attacks in the Gulf of Aden can affect travel demand and airline costs, which could be passed on to Avolta. However, the effect is indirect and is not the dominant factor for this company.
