INDIA. With anticipation mounting for the 2026 Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Conference & Awards, The Moodie Davitt Report is delighted to announce the fourth and final tranche of finalists from select award categories, less than a month ahead of the blockbuster Bengaluru event taking place on 7-8 July.
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 409 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.
From the balance of entries, those most deserving of recognition but which fall short of making the finalists’ line-up receive Silver Awards.
Today we continue the roll-out of finalists, with Gold and Silver Awards announced across the categories below.
Note: Due to the unprecedented number and qualitiy of entries, and the closeness of the voting several categories justifiably boast a large number of Gold Awards (and Finalists).
