UAE. Autogrill subsidiary HMSHost has captured a food & beverage contract at Abu Dhabi International Airport. The deal covers six outlets, which are expected to generate total revenues of around €20 million in the period 2014-2019.
“Entry to Abu Dhabi is an important step for our expansion across the most dynamic airports in the Middle East and is a continuation of our strategy launched at the Dubai hub at the end of 2012,” said HMSHost International CEO Walter Seib. “We’re happy to be bringing our experience to an airport that’s recorded exceptional growth in recent years and is offering important development prospects for our business.”
“Abu Dhabi Airports are constantly striving to improve the customer experience and are working closely with our partners HMSHost to deliver new brands and facilities that will enhance the dining experience for all customers” said Abu Dhabi Airports Vice President Commercial Gavin McKechnie.
Autogrill will be introducing concepts from its own portfolio, already available in European airports, as well as international brands. Concepts that will be opening in March in Terminal 3 include Urban Food Market, a delicatessen concept; Cinnabon, a pâtisserie brand; Barista, an Italian espresso-inspired coffee bar; Flat White, a coffee bar with an international offering, and Grab & Fly, with snacks to take away.
