MANAMA - Bahrain Airport Company (BAC), the operator and managing body of Bahrain International Airport (BIA), yesterday issued a new tender for landside food and beverage (F&B) outlets wishing to be part of the new passenger terminal, currently being built as part of the Airport Modernisation Programme.

The tender will grant a non-exclusive concession to one or more business partners to design, fit out, finance, develop, operate, maintain and manage F&B outlets at the new terminal.

BAC chief commercial officer Ayman Zainal said: “Airports have grown to become much more than just waiting areas for the next flight. They also serve as important shopping and dining destinations. This makes it crucial that all of its components contribute to improving the overall passenger experience, and having a great selection of F&B outlets is a top priority for us to meet the expectations of today’s traveller.”

Food and beverage units with a total size of 899 square metres are available in both Arrival and Departure lounges, including units for a variety of coffee and quick service outlets. The aim of the tender is to cater to meeters and greeters, staff, the local community and passengers.

The tender is for five landside F&B outlets which could be bid for individually with three outlets designated for coffee shops and two for restaurants. The deadline for submission of proposals is February 21.
