There will be a new food and beverage offering at Luleå Airport in the spring of 2023 when a new restaurant, a coffee bar and a kiosk open their doors.
– It's incredibly fun, not least for our travelers, says Ann-Christin Viklund, airport manager at Luleå Airport.
Luleå Airport is one of the airports in Sweden where travel has recovered best after the pandemic and the airport is now being developed to give travelers an even better start to their journey.
In the spring of 2023, three new units will open at the airport. One of them is the popular gastropub Craft n'Draft, which many Luleå residents are already familiar with as it has been located at Kulturens hus in Luleå since 2018. At Craft n'Draft, the focus is on food and beer, and in combination with a warm and relaxed environment, among bricks and comfortable sofas, the idea is to make you feel at home.
Cornelius Coffee is described as a modern coffee shop adapted for travel-related environments, where the demands for clarity and fast service are important for guests. Here, travelers can enjoy barista coffee, delicious pastries and a variety of meals. Cornelius Coffee also includes a shop in shop with the Kiosk concept where travelers can pay for their products themselves at self-service checkouts.
A kiosk will also open on the landside, offering simple quick dishes such as hamburgers, grilled sandwiches, sweets, drinks and coffee.
– Swedavia is currently making the largest investment ever in commercial offerings at its ten airports and at Luleå Airport we will have three new fresh concepts in both the restaurant and café at the airport. We have had a very strong recovery of travelers and are almost at the same levels as before the pandemic and this spring we will also have significantly more charter destinations back and therefore it feels extra nice that we can offer a new and updated offering. We look forward to the inauguration of the new concepts together with SSP and our travelers, says Ann-Christin Viklund, Airport Station Manager at Luleå Airport.
Behind the new concepts at Luleå Airport is SSP, which already operates several restaurants at Stockholm Arlanda Airport and airports around the world.
– We are really looking forward to opening our second Craft n' Draft here in Luleå, which we know is a popular concept with Luleå residents and we believe it will also be popular with our travelers at Luleå Airport. It feels extra special to open the first Cornelius Coffee here in Luleå. We have chosen that half of the dishes and sandwiches will be vegan or lacto-ovo vegetarian, so we have a wide selection where everyone will find something to eat. We look forward to continuing our great collaboration with Swedavia and developing the offering at the airport, says Sara Sandqvist, Operation Manager North, at SSP.
