The contract is valued at approximately £280 million and will run for between five and ten years, depending on the unit.
Nick Inkster, chief executive officer, SSP WEMEAP, said: “We always aim to exceed passengers’ expectations and we thrive on being a part of the ever-changing culinary scene, adapting our offer to shifting tastes and trends.
“Having had the privilege of being a significant F&B provider at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) for nearly a decade, we are delighted to be building on this important partnership. This deal will also pave the way for further development of our business in the wider Middle East region.”
The food court, named the Food Park, is inspired by Abu Dhabi’s Umm Al Emarat (Mushrif Central Park), one of the oldest and largest urban parks in the city and a hub for socialising and family fun.
