The 10-year contract will see Fraport USA design, construct, lease and manage the concessions space across the airport’s four concourses in the passenger terminal.
Fraport said that a major airport expansion work will see the development of nearly 12,300m² (over 133,000ft²) of concession space for more than 90 shops, restaurants and service outlets along with areas for seating and entertainment.
The company will spend almost €17m in the BNA concessions development, with further investments are planned by the respective subtenants.
