Stobart Aviation CEO Glyn Jones said: “We know from customer feedback that improving our food and beverage offer is the main way we can make their experience even better, so this new partnership with TRG Concessions, which will bring recognised brands to London Southend Airport, is fantastic news for passengers.
“It is also a great vote of confidence in the UK’s fastest growing airport, another step along our road to becoming both bigger and better.”
Under the terms of the agreement, TRG will take over the existing airport operated outlets and their teams next month.
The outlets will subsequently be modified into a customised pub and dining concept known as The Navigator.
