AUSTRALIA. Avolta recently opened Hungry Jack’s at Gold Coast Airport, marking the last of six outlets to open in the Domestic Terminal. The openings form part of the airport’s redevelopment project, with Gold Coast representing Avolta’s latest location in Australia.
Hungry Jack’s restaurant offers its flame-grilled Whopper, chicken menu items, plant-based burgers, brekky wraps and barista-made coffee.
Since last year, other openings include Avolta’s proprietary brand Artisan Kitchen and Bakery, with bakery and savoury selections, plus Fresh with its smoothies, freshly pressed juices and healthy salad bowls. Asia Street Cooking serves guests a selection of Asian kitchens, with favourites like Vietnamese Banh Mi, classic Pad Thai, and Laksas and stir-fries.
Avolta has also opened the well-known chicken schnitzel brand Schnitz, in a first for the brand at airports. In addition to these national brands, the company has added proprietary brand Two Tigers, with its sushi, sashimi and Japanese snack items.
Avolta Managing Director South East Asia and Oceania David Mackay said: “The opportunity to collaborate with Gold Coast Airport for a new vision and a transformed food & beverage experience is an exciting step for the company and our team. We see this as an affirmation of our commitment to growing our footprint in the Australian airport market, and we cannot wait to welcome guests to our new stores. I am very proud that this exciting development evolved in line with our wider strategy for the Asia Pacific region and will undoubtedly make travellers happier in this corner of the world.”
Queensland Airports Limited Chief Commercial Officer Adam Rowe said: “This new partnership is about elevating the experience of our customers travelling through Gold Coast Airport. We are in the final stages of delivering a A$500 million package of works to upgrade the whole airport precinct. These six new stores in our domestic terminal add to the overall modernisation of the airport and provide our customers with more choices.”
Gold Coast Airport’s redevelopment and expansion of the Domestic Terminal is part of a plan to improve passenger experience and showcase the Gold Coast region to tourists.
