Abstract

The market for airport catering has enjoyed a boom period during the past five years as the quality of provision has improved, and an increasing number of consumers have opted to fly with no-frills or budget airlines that do not provide in-flight meals.

The value of the market increased by 61% between 2002 and 2007, some way ahead of the 27% increase in passenger numbers moving through UK airports during the same period. The reason for this is that more people are buying from airport catering outlets, and they are spending more per head.

This report examines the market for catering within airport terminal buildings, last reported on by Mintel in Airport Catering - UK, Leisure Intelligence, December 1999. This report considers the hypothesis ‘the trend for low cost travel has been a positive one for airport catering' . It assesses the value of the market, profiles the major operators and looks at consumer behaviour and attitudes relating to airport catering.

Main Issues:

How have low-cost airlines affect the airport catering market?
Do consumers want formal sit-down meals or simple grab ‘n' go options?
Is eating at the airport purely an exercise in refuelling for travellers or is it a leisure experience too?
What comparisons can be made with trends in the wider eating out market and high street in particular?
