Perth Airport has awarded SSP a contract to operate four outlets within Terminal 1 International. The new restaurants, which will complement SSP’s existing outlets, are all scheduled to open in 2025. Creating a ‘sense of place’ was a key priority in fashioning the offer – the line-up is designed to provide passengers with a truly Western Australian experience, and SSP has worked with local producers to source ingredients as locally as possible.
“We’ve seen our airline partners show confidence in the Perth market by increasing and adding new international services which has led to a 23% surge in international passengers in 2024 compared to 2023, hitting a record 4.8 million in the calendar year,” said Kate Holsgrove, Chief Commercial & Aviation Officer, Perth Airport. “As a growing airport we want to ensure we have a range of quality food and beverage options for our passengers. We look forward to working with the globally experienced team at SSP to deliver four new exciting outlets in Terminal 1 International which will enhance the customer experience at Perth Airport.”
The new outlets include:
- WA Cellar, a bar and casual dining concept created bespoke for Perth Airport, which will evoke a sense of Western Australia through both its design and menu. The decor draws inspiration from the local landscape with ‘cave’ and ‘rock’ elements, alongside burnished copper and aged patinas for a raw, industrial feel.
- A second tailor-made concept, Co & Co (Coffee & Cocktails), will also give travellers an authentic sense of the region. The aesthetic of Co & Co reflects the unique Western Australian landscape with a palette inspired by local colours and tones. It incorporates themes such as water, earth, sky, and trees, blending soft curves within rigid framing. The design is both eye-catching and creative, capturing the essence of the region’s natural beauty.
- Bringing a much-loved Aussie brand to Terminal 1, SSP has partnered with fast, fresh Vietnamese concept Roll’d, which can currently be found at over 100 locations across Australia.
- Sushi Jiro will make history as the first Sushi specific outlet at Perth Airport’s Terminal 1 International, and specialises in modern Japanese cuisine. Sushi Jiro strives to curate an inviting sushi dining environment with a uniquely modern-classic Japanese theme, beautiful visual appeal, and the highest-quality fresh ingredients.
SSP will be providing QR code ordering across common area seating to deliver at-table ordering from multiple outlets. This will be available in the common seating area around the restaurants.
“We’ve been a longstanding partner of Perth Airport for five years and are delighted to continue to serve its passengers through this prestigious contract win,” said Jonathan Robinson, CEO Asia Pacific, SSP. “As food travel experts, we have a deep knowledge and understanding of the food and beverage Australian travellers love, and we’re certain that our new dining concepts, with a strong focus on the Australian and Asian cuisines, will be very popular to those flying in and out of Perth.”
