Food and beverage outlet operator, SSP Group, is to open 11 bars and restaurants across Spanish airport operator AENA’s network. Palma de Mallorca, Menorca and Barcelona airport are all set to benefit from the agreement.
SSP will operate six new units at Palma de Mallorca, including the first Popeyes restaurant for any Spanish airport. Passengers will also be able to enjoy innovative new retail and F&B spaces with guests shopping at Goiko able to use a digital order and collect system, which will also enable them to personalise their selections. Meanwhile, at Menorca Airport, the much feted Enrique Tomas, which is found at over 100 locations in Spain and is renowned for its fine quality ham, will offer a selection of cured meats, wine and cheeses. Italian foodie lovers will also be able to make the most of La Boutique Italian Food , as well as the opportunity to purchase from a range of sandwiches, coffees and other snacks at Pannus Cafe. Finally, at Barcelona Yo! Sushi will be making its debut at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The restaurant will mark SSP’s ninth outlet at the Spanish capital’s main air transport hub and will feature easy-to-use digital self-checkout technology.
“Over a number of years, we’ve built a strong relationship with the teams at AENA across Spain,” said Blanca Ripoll, MD of SSP Spain commenting on the new airport concession collaboration. ” These new spaces at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona El-Prat and Palma de Mallorca airports see us continue to strengthen our presence at these major international travel hubs, and our return to the island of Menorca is an exciting next chapter in the development of our businesses in the region. Our understanding of the needs of the travelling customer in Spain means we have created a blend of brands and concepts that we are certain will be very popular with passengers at these three prestigious travel hubs.”
