ITALY. Avolta is set to make its Verona Valerio Catullo Airport debut with five dining concepts in a ten-year food & beverage contract, while strengthening its retail footprint at Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport through a six-year agreement.
Marking its entry into a new airport in north-east Italy, the global travel retail powerhouse continues to integrate world-renowned brands with Italian retail formats, creating concepts that appeal to diverse passengers, while bringing a distinctive sense of place.
Avolta is further expanding into food & beverage at Florence Amerigo Vespucci Airport, marking its first F&B presence while complementing its existing travel retail operations. The contract covers two airside concepts on the ground floor, featuring a Tuscan-inspired menu alongside a traditional Italian bar and coffee format.
Avolta CEO Italy Massimiliano Santoro said: “These openings reflect how our business in Italy continues to grow and evolve. Bringing travel retail and food & beverage together allows us to better serve airports and create a more rounded experience for travellers.”
Avolta highlighted its integrated approach with these openings, with a new airport debut and its move from travel retail into food & beverage, enhancing passenger experience and supporting airport partners across key touchpoints.
