As part of Bali Airport’s Phase 2 tender process, the six stores are spread across both international and domestic departures and arrivals. This new award of six stores is for five years plus one recovery year (total of six years), valued at €34.4 million, is in addition to the Phase 1 award of five stores for five years as announced in May this year.

David Mackay, regional managing director of HMSHost Asia Pacific, said, “Continuing our development in Bali Airport, we are extremely excited to announce that we will be opening more F&B ventures with the addition of six new stores. Since our entry in 2013, we have established ourselves as the main F&B operator across the International Terminal and have enjoyed a strong collaboration with Angkasa Pura I along the way. We are proud to bring global favorite brands to the airport and these include Pizza Hut (two locations), much loved by the Indonesian passengers, alongside rapidly growing Aussie-style café, The Coffee Club. HMSHost is proud to continue bringing memorable F&B experiences to the Bali International passengers.”

Securing some exciting new contract wins during Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport’s two-phase tender process, HMSHost International has now been awarded a total of 11 food and beverage stores to meet the needs of up to 25 million passengers per year. From top listed global brands like Pizza Hut through to regional favorites, the carefully curated selection of brands will bring passengers an abundance of variety and maintain Bali Airport’s position as the key commercial hub to Bali tourism.

“Congratulations to HMSHost International for winning back the new F&B tender again, this time for the Phase 2, for the next six years ahead, following the recent winning on F&B tender awards on Phase 1. We also appreciate HMSHost International’s strong will and commitment to keep continuing the business project at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali Airport despite the fact that we are in the midst of passenger’s traffic decline due to COVID-19 pandemic. However, we believe that international passenger traffic will bounce back as soon as the international border is open again.” said Faik Fahmi, president director of Angkasa Pura I, Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport operator company.
