Construction crews are more than halfway finished with New Orleans’ new airport terminal, a $993.7 million project with 35 gates and a brand new 2,100-space parking garage. The terminal is set to open in February 2019. The new terminal will completely replace the existing New Orleans airport.
The new terminal’s food and retail lineup includes a few familiar New Orleans brands.
Expect a mix of local restaurants as well as big national brands like Chick-Fil-A and Starbucks.
Last January, the New Orleans Aviation Board picked two concessions groups to run the food and beverage program at the new airport — Delaware North-Chase Catering and Concessions, and HMS Host-Coaxum Enterprises-Kaleidoscope Strategies. The goal for the new airport, according to a statement from officials, is «to have a world-class, award-winning program that provides competition and a mix of local and national brands that fit all price points.»
Here’s an overview of the food and beverage offerings each of the groups is bringing to the table.
