Avolta AG, a global travel retailer and food & beverage vendor with headquarters in Switzerland, has been awarded a 12-year extension covering travel retail and food & beverage operations at Miami International Airport, extending its presence across the airport’s North, Central and South terminals and reinforcing a long-term partnership at a busy U.S. international gateway.
Under the new agreement, Avolta’s Hudson brand will renovate 40 retail stores and bring new retail concepts and enhanced digital engagement to respond to evolving passenger expectations. Avolta’s HMSHost will continue to operate and progressively transform more than 20 restaurants, bars and grab-and-go outlets, introducing a balanced mix of local concepts, global brands and proprietary formats supported by digital tools to enhance speed, convenience and operational efficiency.
“Hudson and HMSHost have built a long-standing, successful partnership with [Miami International Airport], and we appreciate the confidence Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade Aviation Department have placed in us,” says Steve Johnson, president and CEO, North America, Avolta. “This extension enables us to modernize Miami’s offering across more than 60 retail and F&B spaces. Supporting the airport’s long-erm vision for a more seamless, efficient and locally inspired passenger experience, we are ready to meet the evolving needs and wants of passengers now and in the future.”
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava adds that the 12-year contract extension reflects their shared commitment to exceptional customer service, innovation and quality. She says, “As we advance our $9 billion modernization of [Miami International Airport] over the next five to 10 years, we look forward to continuing and expanding this partnership to help shape a world-class airport for the future.”
