Aberdeen International Airport joins Grab online food ordering network

SCOTLAND. Aberdeen International Airport has launched a new service which allows passengers to pre-order items from airport bars and restaurants to take away ahead of their flights.

The service enables passengers to reserve food and drinks through online food ordering app Grab or via the airport’s website.

Passengers can order food and drinks in advance from airside-located The Distillery House.

The order can then be collected from three separate venues which are operated by The Restaurant Group. These are landside outlets The Granite City and Joes Coffee House and, after security, The Distilling House.

The system works in real-time, so when passengers place and pay for their order, they will receive a confirmation and an alert when it’s ready to be picked up.

The service also gives an estimation of when food will be ready, so it is kept at the right temperature for the customer’s arrival at the restaurant.

Aberdeen International Airport Managing Director Steve Szalay said: “We’re always looking for new ways to provide our passengers with a greater choice as they pass through our upgraded terminal building.

“The Grab service is perfect for our passengers who may not have time to sit down for a meal in one of our departure lounge food outlets. It gives passengers the freedom to spend more time in the terminal, whether than be preparing for an important meeting ahead of business travel, or spending time relaxing before their flight.”

Grab Commercial Director Avi Robinson added: “We’re delighted to partner with Aberdeen International Airport and The Restaurant Group to add Aberdeen to our growing list of UK airports providing our Grab & Go pre-order service.

“The concept is all about convenience so we look forward to facilitating each customer’s journey through the airport, making it a little more fun and a little less stressful.”
