Bournemouth Airport and SSP have announced a 10-year partnership, with SSP becoming the main food & beverage partner as part of the airport’s ongoing transformation of the customer experience.

Bournemouth Airport and SSP Group have announced a 10-year partnership, with SSP becoming the airport’s main food & beverage partner from 1 April 2025.

As part of the airport’s ongoing multi-million-pound transformation, which includes the arrival of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays with new routes this year, SSP has assumed operation of the airport’s two existing food & beverage outlets, which include a café bar and bar restaurant. Over the next 12 months, SSP will provide significant investment to transform these into a newer, upgraded bar and kitchen concept and a larger grab-and-go outlet that will ensure passengers have greater choice and value.

“We’re delighted to welcome SSP as our food & beverage partner as part of our exciting ongoing transformation,” said Steve Gill, Managing Director, Bournemouth Airport. “With passenger numbers growing, enhancing our food and drink offering is a key part of enriching the overall customer experience. SSP’s investment over the next year will bring fresh, modern concepts to our terminal, ensuring our passengers have greater choice, quality, and value when they travel. We look forward to working together to create a first-class experience for all who pass through our airport.”

With over one million passengers passing through last year, and the start of 16 new routes this summer with the arrival of Jet2.com and Jet2Holidays, Bournemouth Airport is expanding its operations to meet growing customer demand with a £60 million investment in new and improved facilities. The upgraded food and drink offer will provide fresh new spots to grab a bite to eat or drink, improving passenger experiences.

“Bournemouth Airport is our first new UK airport location for several years, and demonstrates our growth strategy in action,” said Kari Daniels, CEO, SSP UK & Ireland. “We aim to be the best part of the journey, which means expanding our footprint to provide offers where our customers need us. As passenger numbers from the airport continue to rise, we’re excited to be partnering with Bournemouth and land at the perfect time ready to fuel up families for the Easter and summer getaways.”
