Leeds Bradford Airport is to open a series of new and refreshed F&B outlets as part of the UK gateway’s transformative £100 million terminal extension and refurbishment.
The airport is adding a three-storey extension to its main terminal, scheduled for completion before the busy summer getaway, to meet growing demand and improve passenger experiences.
And with 75% more space for F&B and retail outlets, SSP is extending its operations through a new 14-year contract with a greater range of F&B outlets offering something for everyone.
SSP will operate a diverse portfolio from casual airport dining at its new American-style concept, Monty’s Diner, through to grab-and-go options at Upper Crust from its own brand portfolio alongside a Starbucks.
It will also debut its first AMT Coffee at a UK airport and open a brand-new premium bar and kitchen concept.
A new Burger King restaurant and SSP’s craft beer and kitchen concept, Tap and Brew, have already opened in the new terminal extension in the first phase of the airport’s F&B transformation.
The airport’s commercial and strategy director, John Cunliffe, said: “These new restaurants, cafes and eateries will be transformational for customers at LBA and help us deliver an experience of a lifetime when travelling through our airport.
“The customer journey will be completely unrecognisable; larger, faster, more streamlined security, an enhanced arrivals experience, exciting new shops and eateries, much more seating to relax and enjoy stunning panoramic views of our runway and better access for passengers with restricted mobility.”
