Fraport – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – has completed the marketing of the dining spaces in the new Terminal 3 at Frankfurt Airport. After a comprehensive selection process, the spaces were awarded to two travel retailers: Avolta and Lagardère Travel Retail. Avolta will operate 12 spaces in Terminal 3 located in the non-Schengen Central Marketplace, the Schengen Pier, and the Departures Hall. Lagardère will have 10 spaces in the non-Schengen Central Marketplace, the Non-Schengen Pier, and in T3’s Arrivals Hall, as well as six additional spaces for travel needs.
“We are very pleased to welcome Avolta and Lagardère Travel Retail as our partners in the new dining areas of Terminal 3,” said Anke Giesen, Executive Director for Retail and Real Estate, Fraport. “Both companies display an impressive innovative spirit and strict quality standards and will greatly enrich the food and beverage options at Frankfurt Airport.”
The two partners were selected based on numerous factors, including in particular the expected passenger needs and the quality of the dining options. With impressive international cuisine, select trend concepts, and regional highlights, the new terminal will feature a wide range of culinary experiences. Covering 2,900sqm, the dining space in Terminal 3 will offer a wide variety of food and beverage options, from German bakeries to snack shops, a high-end bar with fresh tapas and sushi to chic Italian restaurants. The two food courts and the central bar in the marketplace – the heart of the new terminal with its unique ceiling construction – are a particular highlight of the new terminal.
The dining spaces in Terminal 3 have now all been awarded and the marketing of the retail and service areas is also in its final phase. After a comprehensive selection process, 65 retail spaces covering an area of approximately 12,000sqm have been awarded. The mix of concessionaires in Terminal 3 is therefore set and includes numerous shops, restaurants, and services, such as currency exchange and car rentals. The expansive duty free shops in the non-Schengen area are particularly impressive.
“We are expecting many international guests in Terminal 3 and have designed the new terminal to meet their needs and provide them an incredible experience,” said Giesen. “Our retail areas are exceptional in their diversity and quality and have been created to make the guest experience in our new terminal one to remember.”
The new Terminal 3 is scheduled to become operational for the 2026 summer flight schedule. After completion of the first construction phase, Frankfurt Airport’s new Terminal 3 will be able to accommodate up to 19 million passengers.
