Leeds Bradford Airport appoints new lounge caterers
Leeds Bradford Airport has appointed a new catering operator to provide food and drink services for its lounges.
In a press release today, the airport said Elior will serve "a wider range of food and drink options" and "a changing seasonal menu" in its Yorkshire Lounge and 1432 Runway Club.
New technology has also been introduced to the 1432 Runway Club lounge for direct-to-table ordering.
Elior has previously operated in the premium hospitality sector at SkyLounge at Heathrow Airport.
Five new staff roles have been created as part of the new catering arrangement, which started today. The airport is 13 miles from Harrogate.
Elior will now manage the day-to-day operations of the lounges at Leeds Bradford Airport, but the airport will continue to take responsibility for commercial performance, front desk management and sales initiatives.
Airport lounge access will continue to be booked through the Leeds Bradford Airport website.
