UK. Global travel restaurateur SSP is open a new venue in partnership with the UK’s best-known burrito and taco restaurant brand Tortilla at Glasgow Airport this summer.
Based in the main departure lounge, the 30-seat venue – the third airport collaboration between Tortilla and SSP – will include a grab-and-go takeaway service from its California-style Mexican menu.
Dishes will be made fresh to order, filled with quality ingredients such as Tortilla’s marinated proteins, hand-smashed guacamole and fresh salsas. Choices will include burritos, naked burrito bowls, salads, tacos, quesadillas and nachos.
The Tortilla brand is already well-established in Glasgow with a venue in the city’s Silverburn shopping centre.
Glasgow Airport Retail Account Manager Craig Norton said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with SSP, who will operate the Tortilla restaurant in our Glasgow Airport departure lounge. This new venue will further enhance the eating and drinking options we have within the airport with a cuisine we know our customers are looking for during their travels.
“The Tortilla brand has continuously grown year after year and I am sure the colourful and bursting-with-flavour menu items will be a hit with our customers.”
Tortilla CEO Andy Naylor commented: “We are excited to be opening our third airport location with SSP, following success at London Gatwick and Bristol airports. Local Glaswegians will already know our brand from our location in the city centre, but this will allow them to enjoy some of our delicious Mexican food before jetting off to their next destination.”
SSP UK & Ireland Business Development Director Cathy Granby said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing Tortilla to a Scottish airport for the first time and extending our partnership with both Glasgow Airport and Tortilla. We aim to be the best part of the journey and this includes offering customers more choice every time they fly.”
