Food Trucks: A New Dining Option At Airports

Categories: Industry News | News

Airport cellphone waiting areas are starting to look like fast-food drive-ins.

A number of airports are allowing food trucks to set up shop in or near cellphone lots where people wait to pick up passengers. The trucks, which often showcase regional foods, cater to travelers, those picking them up and airport employees.

The trucks let airports shed their reputation for having unoriginal and tasteless food options.

“A huge trend in airports is being able to showcase the food and drink of a region because the airport is the front door of the community, where travelers get their first impression,” says Deborah McElroy, interim president of Airports Council International-North America. “It really does help reflect the flavor of the community.”

Some examples:

• Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s cellphone lot has Twist of Spice serving wraps, paninis, salads and Mexican food from Monday to Friday. Outdoor tables are available for eating on mild days.

• Harley Dogs recently opened in the cellphone lot of Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, serving hot dogs, bratwurst and metts each day.
