Starting this month, the T2 casual dining precinct is undergoing a refresh of the food & drinks offering to enhance value and choice for passengers in the domestic terminal.
New food brands announced for the revitalised space include Chur Burger in an airport first. The high-profile burger restaurant is the brainchild of renowned chef Warren Turnbull, who also developed past gourmet ventures and award-winning restaurants Assiette and District Dining.
The burger offering will be joined by an extensive selection of new food & drinks options, including Mad Mex, SumoSalad Green Label, Roll’d, Hokka Hokka, Red Rooster and Sahara Grill.
Stage one, which is due for completion at the end of 2015, forms part of the wider improvements plan for Sydney Airport in 2015 and 2016 designed to deliver what the company claimed will be “a world-class airport experience”.
The works will provide a newly designed food & drinks space, with reconfigured seating that will add capacity within a relaxed dining environment.
According to Sydney Airport, key features include:
• A rearranged dining mix to provide a wider selection of fast and fresh, gourmet and street food options for passengers;
•Increased value and choice;
• Additional seating;
• Enhanced wayfinding and an improved passenger experience
During the improvements there will be a slight reduction in the food & drinks offering in T2, noted the airport, but it added that passengers will be able to access a great range of options from existing retailers including Rockin’ Rolls, Pie Face, McDonald’s, Boost Juice, Veloce, Quickshots, Toby’s Estate, Brasserie Bread and MoVida.
Additionally, three temporary food & drinks kiosks will be available within the T2 casual dining precinct offering a range of sandwiches, salads and beverages pre-flight.
“Passengers travelling domestically will notice a lot of activity over the next few months as we begin an exciting transformation of the T2 casual dining precinct,” said Sydney Airport Managing Director and CEO Kerrie Mather.
“As part of the wider improvements plan for Sydney Airport, this project will revitalise the food & beverage offering in T2, Australia’s busiest airport terminal, as well as adding capacity and enhancing wayfinding within a relaxed environment.
“Sydney Airport is Australia’s gateway and we’re working hard to deliver our passengers an enhanced customer experience and more efficient operations to our airline partners.”
