Airport Experience® News - Food & Beverage Issue 2024

JUNE 2024

Dear Readers,

JUNE 2024 / V22 N255

Welcome to the June Food & Beverage issue of Airport Experience News Magazine ! This issue is chock-full of inciteful articles on everything from in-airport distillery brands to better-for-you menus to the latest endeavors from celebrity chefs. This issue also contains coverage of non-traditional markets, examining how brands and operators can find synergies in unique operating environments like airports, university campuses, national parks, stadiums and others. Also, please check out our new masthead. There you’ll see the 10 industry executives who comprise the new AX Advisory Group. With help and guidance from these individuals, the AX Team is excited to begin crafting the next phase of Airport Experience News and the Airport Experience Conference. In the coming months you’ll see subtle changes as we look to better deliver the content and insights needed to help guide the industry forward. Looking ahead, we have an exciting new initiative underway for our July/August Small Business/ACDBE issue. Based on feedback from a broad range of industry executives, we’ll highlight some of the industry’s most successful ACDBE operators in a special section called ACDBEs of Distinction. It’s also time to start thinking about the 2025 AX Awards. If you’d like to be a part of the AX Awards Committee – the group that votes for the winners from among the finalists – please reach out directly to me at carol@airportxnews.com.
