CANADA. Avolta has secured a new 12-year food & beverage contract at Toronto Pearson International, Canada’s busiest airport.
The agreement, which expands on a longstanding partnership will see Avolta’s HMSHost food & beverage arm transform the dining experience across more than 5,300sq m (57,500sq ft) in Terminals 1 and 3 and introducing what Avolta described as some of the most beloved Canadian brands.
Beginning soon, HMSHost will introduce a line-up of local favourites including Mary Brown’s Chicken, OEB Kitchen + Bar and Libretto Slice Shop.
HMSHost is also expanding its collaboration with acclaimed Canadian chef Roger Mooking to launch a new F&B concept, following the success of his restaurant Twist by Roger Mooking in Terminal 1.
“This is an exciting evolution of a partnership between HMSHost and Toronto Pearson that began nearly 25 years ago,” said Avolta President and CEO, North America Steve Johnson {story continues beneath the FAB banner}.
“Over the years of collaboration, we have created a world-class traveller experience at Toronto Pearson and now, together, we are raising the bar to usher in the future.”
“Airports are evolving into vibrant culinary destinations,” said Toronto Pearson International Airport President and CEO Deborah Flint.
“From full-service dining to convenient grab-and-go options, we’re excited to partner with HMSHost to bring fresh and diverse food experiences to our passengers as they travel through Toronto Pearson.”
The concessions refresh will also include revamped menus and enhanced digital engagement at longtime dining favorites among visitors to Toronto Pearson.
Travellers will enjoy a better, seamless dining experience through technology such as digital waitlists and self-order kiosks, allowing for greater convenience and speed, Avolta pledged.
Travellers can also access the benefits of the Club Avolta loyalty programme, gaining exclusive offers, rewards and cross-promotions.
“Combined with our new restaurants and bars, these innovations will change the dining landscape as travellers know it,” Johnson commented. “2026 will be a year that everyone will want to travel through Toronto Pearson, no matter their ultimate destination.”
