TURKEY. Autogrill division HMSHost and partner ICTur have struck a deal to operate eight food & beverage units at Antalya Airport.
The new business is expected to generate total revenues of around €110 million over the contract’s ten-year term (2015-2025), said Autogrill.
The move extends Autogrill’s presence in Turkish airports, where it previously only operated at Istanbul Sabina Gökçen International with 16 outlets.
The facilities cover over 600sq m and offer a mix of international and house brands. These include four Starbucks units, (opening for the first time at Antalya), “on the go” concept Kiosko, two Puro Gusto units, and one unit named Kebab & Beer Factory, which offers a local flavour.
“The agreement entered with ICTur is a new step forward for Autogrill’s strategy of expansion in Turkey, where airport traffic is growing fast, thanks in part to major infrastructure investments undertaken by the Turkish Government in the last few years,” said HMSHost International CEO Walter Seib. “At Antalya Airport, one of the most important in the region, we will be introducing some of our most innovative concepts to make its food & beverage offering international.”
