Brisbane Airport Executive General Manager Commercial Group Scott Norris said, “We had a very enthusiastic market response to this proposal, which reflects the strong growth in sales we’re seeing across our terminals.
“With more than 25 million passengers passing through Brisbane Airport each year, and set to double in the next two decades, we’re confident the options chosen will deliver a vibrant mix of food & beverage offerings that meet the expectations of today’s travellers and showcase the best of Brisbane.
“We look forward to unveiling the designs and plans soon, and we’re confident they’ll set a new benchmark for airport hospitality.”
The first outlet is expected to open in December 2025, with all ten venues scheduled for completion by 2027.
