“We want our customers to feel relaxed before they board their flight, so we’re looking at the end-to-end journey more holistically.”

“We’ve partnered with strong, local Australian brands to deliver our new lifestyle precinct with concepts that should appeal to everyone including technology, apparel, news and books, toys, and most importantly, a chocolatier.

“We’re reimagining the travel experience for our customers and look forward to delivering so much more to ensure their time at Sydney Airport is seamless and relaxing.”

A new bar concept, Fat Yak, has also set up its shop in the new lifestyle precinct.
