Sydney International Airport has just been awarded the world's best airport food and beverage operator at the inaugural Airport Food & Beverage Awards held in the UK on 25 January, 2011.
The awards were a highlight of the first worldwide Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) Conference, which attracted 170 delegates from across the globe who voted in a host of different categories, including best airport bar and restaurant. Sydney International Airport claimed top honours winning best overall airport food and beverage offer (10-25 million passengers). The event brought together airports, operators and suppliers with a view of recognising and analysing best practice in a sector that is vital to the future of the airport industry.
Sydney International Airport's recently completed tempting food precinct caters for every taste and appetite ranging from affordable kid friendly family favourites and healthy inexpensive meals to gourmet delights set to impress the most discerning palates.
