Oslo Airport reveals further details of enhanced commercial line-up

NORWAY. Oslo Airport has revealed further details about its food & drinks and convenience store offer, with its new Terminal 2 set to open on 27 April 2017.

As reported, SSP and HMSHost- UMOE F&B Company are among the big winners of the dining concessions. They will be joined by three other companies, Reitan Convenience Norway, Joe & The Juice and BIT. The number of food & drinks outlets will increase from the current 20 to 37 by 2017.

“A long, meticulous selection process has resulted in our decision to enter into a partnership with five operators. These operators submitted the overall best tenders and we feel certain that the Norwegian people will be pleased with our choices,” said Oslo Airport Managing Director Øyvind Hasaas.

“Our ambition has always been to bring in more operators, and now we have a good mix of companies that will provide better and more extensive food, beverage and kiosk offerings than what we have today,” added Hasaas. “While our current food, beverage and kiosk offerings are good, we believe that this will be enhanced when we open an airport nearly double its present size in April 2017.”

In the convenience category, Point, Narvesen and 7 Eleven will operate ten kiosks between them, compared with the current six.

The new restaurants and kiosks are currently under construction and will open gradually. The plan is for all to be open when the new Oslo Airport officially opens in April 2017.

New brand additions include Joe & The Juice, Bølgen & Moi Food Garage, Wagamama, Fiskebaren, Oslo Sausage Company, Jamie’s Italian, Norgeglasset, BIT, Hunter Bar, Flybar, Humle & Malt, Burger King, Northland, Parken, Two Tigers, Deli & Bakery by Jamie Oliver, TGI Fridays, News Bar, Havsalt, Haven, Fjøla, Everyday Kitchen and Fiskeriet.

Among the existing establishments, Peppes Pizza, O`Learys, La Baguette, W.B Samson, Caffè Ritazza, Starbucks and Aquavit Bar will continue, while Franks Deli and Upper Crust will be phased out.

Hasaas said: “We wanted a broad selection where passengers can choose among both international and Norwegian menus. Several of the establishments have Norwegian food and beverages on the menu, while others have a more international flavour. It is this combination that makes us certain that our passengers can look forward to excellent culinary experiences, at acceptable prices.”
