SSP Group has opened a new Food Park at Abu Dhabi International Airport’s new Terminal A.

The airside food zone spans 1,770 square metres and is large enough to accommodate up to 700 customers.

The units include international brands and local concepts, which SSP said were “selected to appeal to the unique passenger profile of the airport”.

A number of SSP’s own brands feature, including coffee shop Ritazza, Camden food co., and Levito. The company has also partnered with a number of franchise brands, such as Operation Falafel which is a Dubai-born Arabic street food brand.

SSP said it has implemented sustainable practices during the build and operation of its new units, including the use of reclaimed wood, water-based air-conditioning to reduce the consumption of energy and the introduction of operational efficiencies to reduce the impact on the environment.

Maureen Bannerman, chief commercial officer at Abu Dhabi Airports, said: “We are delighted to welcome SSP Group and their one-of-a-kind, innovative Food Park to Abu Dhabi International Airport.

“Their hospitality experience and multiple cuisine offerings further adds to the wide array of customer services available to our passengers at the state-of-the-art Terminal A. With 163 food and beverage and retail options, Terminal A elevates the airport experience.”
