DIAL to open more food and beverage outlets at airport

New Delhi : Recognising that their end consumer is not just passengers but also the people who come to drop and receive them, Delhi International Airport (P) Limited (DIAL) has now decided to develop more food and beverage outlets at the airport for all “palettes and wallets”.
DIAL is inviting Expressions of Interest (EoI) from interested parties for the setting up of operations, maintenance and management of such outlets at the under-construction new domestic departure terminal, Terminal 1-D, which will cater to full service airlines such as Jet Airways and low-cost carriers. The new terminal, expected to be ready by early next year, will take over from the existing departure terminal, Terminal 1-B. While IGI Airport already has more than 40 food and beverage outlets, DIAL is planning to open several new such outlets in near future.
Major names like McDonalds, Subway, Nirulas, Yo China, Café Coffee Day and Costa Coffee, along with fine dining restaurants operated by India’s leading hotel chains, the Welcome Group and Ashoka Hotels, are already present at the airport.
The new Terminal 1-D will have a capacity to handle on crore passengers per annum. The new building will be a two-level structure, where passengers will check-in at the upper level and proceed to the security hold area. The check-in process will be streamlined with the induction of an advanced in-line baggage handling system.
