North’s worldwide presence in airports recently caught the attention
of the global travel-hospitality industry as several Delaware North-operated
restaurants in New Zealand and the United States won awards at Moodie
Davitt’s annual Airport Food & Beverage (FAB) Awards, held in Dallas.
Auckland Airport in New Zealand was a star of the event, taking home awards in six different categories, while Delaware North’s Denver Central Market at Denver International Airport also took home an award. Since its launch in 2011, FAB has flourished as the only event dedicated to the burgeoning airport food and beverage business. FAB 2019 brought together senior executives from airports and food and beverage concessionaires worldwide, as well as varied industry partners. Delaware North took home the top overall award for its operations at Auckland Airport, winning the Airport Food & Beverage Offer of the Year award. It also was recognized in five other categories: Airport
Casual Dining Restaurant of the Year

Over the past year at Auckland International Airport, Delaware North has partnered with some of New Zealand and Australia’s leading celebrity chefs to deliver eight new concepts, expanding and enhancing the variety of food and beverages available to travelers. For
its North American-based travel hospitality division, Delaware North was
recognized as a regional winner in the Americas for its Denver Central
Market concept, which opened in December 2018 and was named the FAB Awards’
