INDIA. With the 2026 Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference & Awards fast approaching, The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to unveil the second round of finalists from selected award categories ahead of the event to be held in Bengaluru on 7-8 July.
All other finalists will be revealed early next week.
Owned and organised by The Moodie Davitt Report since 2011, FAB is hosted this year by Bangalore International Airport Limited.
This year’s awards programme features 20 categories (plus special Judges’ Awards) and has attracted almost 350 entries from across the airport hospitality and travel dining sectors.
In a key change from previous years, besides the overall winner in each category (and regional winners where appropriate in select categories), short-listed candidates (the finalists) all receive Gold Awards. Those deserving of recognition but which fall short of making the finalists’ line-up receive Silver Awards.
