Áreas sweeps board in Madrid-Barajas Airport food & beverage mega-tender

SPAIN. In major breaking news, Ãreas S.A. today swept the board to capture all four packages in the Madrid-Barajas Airport food & beverage mega-tender. The incumbent previously operated 40 outlets at the airport in a joint venture with AENA Aeropuertos. The spaces were put to tender when these contracts expired in December 2012.

The concessionaire will operate 47 units in total at the airport covering 17,000sq m of space. Ãreas beat contender Autogrill in the bid for one of the large packages but Ãreas was the sole bidder for the other large package.

The two largest packages, across 42 locations, cover all terminals, but with an emphasis on T4 and the T4 Satellite, which (as we reported in October) the airport company is remodelling. The two smaller packages (of three and two units respectively) will cover selected spaces in terminals 1, 2 and 3.

The contract terms cover ten years for each of the two main lots and eight years each for the two small lots.

The new F&B offer at Madrid-Barajas will feature 19 different national and international brands including Burger King, Starbucks, Kabuki, Paul, Bazaar, Subway, Espression Lavazza, Santa Gloria, Fly & Fishhh, Espace Evian, Il Café di Roma, Mas Q Menos, La Mary, Pepito Grillo, Rodilla, 100 Tapas, Madrid Mola and Mahou Mahou SportsBar.

Ãreas is required to invest €24.8 million under the contracts, and AENA said it will bring “local, modern and avant-garde designs” to the airport.

The winning bidder is required to pay a minimum guarantee rental of €37 million, or at least 32.81% of sales, in fees to AENA.
